'She is fine. Then why does Hugh fear leaving her for work? It started with lockdown, he thinks. Shoved indoors with so many unanswered questions.' A poignant must-read from @patriciaqbidar.bsky.social ⬇️⬇️⬇️
"She is fine! But the animal core of Hugh clutches the memory of his Joanna, almost childlike in the recovery room, whimpering into his ear that it hurt." Terrific story about aging. Love this so much @patriciaqbidar.bsky.social

I binged this book. Bonged it, huffed it. Whatever your verb of choice for “devoured it with reckless abandon.” Each story — nay, each word choice! — is so confident and sharp, so distinctive in style, so “only PQB could have written this.”

"What a sweet mother she thought she’d be after her own fucked-up childhood. But every living thing has thorns." Oh, my heavens.
