Consolation
Michael Redhill’s novel Consolation is a book with several faces. It is a miniature history of the city of Toronto, a mystery of the non-murder sort, and a touching character study that focuses on the attempts of two groups of people, separated by more than a century, who are forced to deal with life’s adversities when they least expected to have to do so.

Sounds interesting. I'll give it a try.
ReplyDeleteIt took me a few pages to get into this one, Elizabeth, but when I did, I found it to be a really good book.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds really good. I'm adding it to my TBR list. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Susan. I hope you enjoy it...let me know.
ReplyDeleteI have picked this book off the shelf at Chapter SO MANY TIMES and have wondered if this would be a good read for my Book Club.
ReplyDeleteYour review, Sam, makes me think that next time, I should puchase Consolation, and announce it as our next read.
Thank you for your [trusted, by me] endorsement.

Oh, this does sound interesting!
ReplyDeleteThanks, for the trust, Cip. I hope I don't disappoint you with this one. IMO, there's a lot for a book club to sink its teeth into with this one. It's very much like reading two books at once.
ReplyDeleteCarrie, if you try it, please let me know what you think.
