The Library of Lost and Found by Phaedra Patrick

 I just finished reading The Library of Lost and Found by Phaedra Patrick.  I read it on my Kindle which means I don’t have a book to photograph and I tried to steal one but that didn’t go so well.  So, no picture but I will say this is the twistiest book I have read in a long time.

It is the store of Martha and her grandmother Zelda.  Also in the cast of characters are her parents, her sister and a number of quirky friends.  

It is sad.  It is funny.  It was a bit weird because even though it was set in a contemporary time frame it almost didn’t seem like that.  But, it was.

I wasn’t sure if I was going to like this book because some of the characters seemed downright weird but at the end I absolutely hated Martha’s father, I resented her mother, I forgave her grandmother and I rallied her on.  And I really like Suki.

Cryptic, I know but I can’t say much or I would give it away.  Just give it a go.  I think you will like it.

That book certainly brought out many different emotions. We had a slightly cooler day today and I'm feeling better, thanks for asking.

Hi Granny! Glad you are better. The heat has really been overwhelming and I am glad to see it go. Yes, the book did bring out many emotions — I wasn’t sure how it was going to be but at the end of the day I really enjoyed it.

Update

 Yes, it has been a month — and what a month it has been.  Long story short all the grafts from my husbands bypass surgery have disappeared ...
