Greetings!
I took a risk this week and booked a trip for next year— even though it’s unclear how the year will go. This is unlike me, who often craves to be in the know and has a plan for big events.
I’m no longer waiting for life to happen to me. Cheers to the unknown!
Here’s my reading highlight:
Two Scorched Men by Margaret Atwood
3 stars
I think that apart from wanting to be heard, ingrained in every human is the inherent desire not to be forgotten.
With an unnamed narrator, Atwood pays tribute beautifully in fictional form to two men she knew during the years she and her partner spent in Provence: John, a hotheaded Irishman who served in the Royal Navy during World War II and barely survived the deadly battles in the South Pacific; and François, a wry and affable Frenchman, who was once an operative in the French Resistance and led a life shaped by tragedy.
