πNow THIS IS GOOD STORYTELLING! This will absolutely go down as being one of the most memorable books I’ve read, I’m already calling it. And it will definitely be in my end of year favorites!
π₯ΉYou know that moment when a line in a book literally knocks the wind out of you? This book had one of those moments and I don’t think I’ll ever forget it.
βBasically if I were to try to describe this plot to you, you would laugh just like my friend did when I explained it to her, “so, basically it’s about this small Amish town in Wisconsin and this woman gives birth to an 18lb baby that grows into a giant and is really good at baseball” π Yes, that sounds wild, but JUST TRUST ME!
πThe story was told through multiple different perspectives of people in the small Wisconsin town of Lakota. I was so invested in these characters that I only put the audiobook down to sleep and finished it in a 24-hour period. The only thing I regret is not reading it with a bookclub because WOW I need to unpack some of this.
βAt its core, I GUESS you could call it literary fiction with some multi-generational family drama and a touch of magic-ish.
πPlease just read it and then come back to discuss π
π§This was a full-cast audiobook and each of them poured their SOUL into the reading of this book. I know I sound dramatic, but I can still hear the emotions in their voices at certain moments. They didn’t just read it, they FELT it, and you will too!
