Just downloarded this on my kindle, anyone read it. It is long, looks like it is a commitment for a week or so.

There I was, the middle of a war, in the middle of the Red Sea,

Curious to know what you thought of this! I finished it a few weeks ago and loved it! Listened to it on audiobook.

I loved it too. I loved how she started it at the end and then weaved it into the story. It was very sad and tragic. I couldn't put it down once I started it. I can't remember the name of her first book but it keeps on coming up as something I would like on my kindle. Might give it a go. You?

Last week, I checked out a book from the library which is turning out to be quite an interesting read. It's a compilation of short stories written by Maeve Brennan, whose short stories were featured many moons ago, in The New Yorker.

Ms. Brennan's prose is rich with more than ordinary glimpses into life in her homeland of Ireland. The title of the book: "Springs of Affection."

From the back of the book:

Maeve Brennan left Ireland for America in 1934, when she was seventeen. In 1949 she joined the staff of The New Yorker, to which she contributed reviews, essays, and short stories. Her acclaimed works include "The Visitor," "The Rose Garden," and "The Long-winded Lady." She died in 1993.

Interestingly, I just learned that The New Yorker just released an archive of literature, from nearly the same time period. I am enjoying this book, immensely.
