I love Amy Bloom and can’t wait to dive into this one. It’s set in WWII and sounds like a sure winner. The cover alone is worth having the book on your bedside table.
As The New York Times said about Amy: “She writes sharp, sparsely beautiful scenes that excitingly defy expectation, and part of the pleasure of reading her is simply keeping up with her. You won’t know where “Lucky Us” is headed until, suddenly, it’s there.”
The opening line alone is wonderful…“My father’s wife died. My mother said we should drive down to his place and see what might be in it for us.”
Yes, lucky us.
