Culminating in a brilliant account of his venture to Tokyo in order to quit smoking, David Sedaris's sixth essay collection is a new masterpiece of comic writing from "a writer worth treasuring" (Seattle Times). In essay after essay, Sedaris proceeds from bizarre conundrums of daily life-having a lozenge fall from your mouth into the lap of a fellow passenger on a plane or armoring the windows with LP covers to protect the house from neurotic songbirds-to the most deeply resonant human truths. Trying to make coffee when the water is shut off, David considers using the water in a vase of flowers and his chain of associations takes him from the French countryside to a hilariously uncomfortable memory of buying drugs in a mobile home in rural North Carolina. "David Sedaris's ability to transform the mortification of everyday life into wildly entertaining art," (The Christian Science Monitor) is elevated to wilder and more entertaining heights than ever in this remarkable new book.

Fast paced and entertaining, it was an enjoyable read, fondly reminding me of the Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evonovich.Īudiobook This was a great narration. When Finlay’s overheard discussing the plot of her new novel with her agent over lunch, she’s mistaken for a contract killer and inadvertently accepts an offer to dispose of a problem husband in order to make ends meet. There were some glaringly unbelievable elements, especially when it came to Findlay’s involvement in every aspect of the storyline. All in all, Cosimano somehow stacks these silly concepts together and makes a house of cards that precariously but defiantly stands on its own. She goes on to make colossally horrible decisions but instead of detracting from the story, they enhanced the ensuing circus of events. Fortunately, that’s where our similarities ended. All hell breaks loose in fantastic hilarity.Īs a constantly sticky mom of toddlers, I identified with Finley Donovan from the very first sentence of the book.

About the Book Secret Service agent Ethan Burke arrived in Wayward Pines, Idaho, three weeks ago. I was particularly looking forward to this book, as I wanted to see how Penny would use Gamache and Beauvoir, now that Gamache has retired and moved to Three Pines with his wife, Reine-Marie. I am an avid fan of Armand Gamache, Jean-Guy Beauvoir and all the characters who live in the village of Three Pines. One of the things I look forward to around this time of the year is the release of the new Louise Penny, Three Pines book. Can Gamache bring Peter, and himself, home safely? Or in searching for answers, has he placed himself, and those closest to him, in terrible danger… As Gamache gets closer to the truth, he uncovers a deadly trail of jealousy and deceit. Journeying further into Quebec, Gamache is drawn deeper into the tortured mind of Peter Morrow, a man so desperate to recapture his fame as an artist that he would sell his soul. Clara’s husband, Peter, is missing, having failed to come home on the first anniversary of their separation as promised. But when his friend Clara Morrow asks for help, he can’t bring himself to refuse her, despite the old wounds it threatens to re-open. Former Chief Inspector of Homicide, Armand Gamache, has found a peace he’d never imagined possible, away from the front line of the police and in the tranquil village of Three Pines. |
