I just finished reading..... The Nest by Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeny. It's her first novel, and it's exceptionally well written.

The story centers around the Plumb family, and how they deal with the one of the members in their family and that person's choices in life affect other members of the family.

It was an very enjoyable read.

In a country and culture generally obsessed with youth, Zane Kotker offers a welcome antidote with her novella “Goodnight, Ladies.” In her new work, the Northampton novelist, profiles three widowed women who have entered their early 70s and are navigating a strange period in their lives.

Goodnight, Ladies” offers a moving meditation on memory and loss, while also staring down the realities of aging in a matter-of-fact way. As Kotker writes, “Death seems so impossible to the young. To the old it’s as common as spent tea bags.

I know The Persistent Desire is currently out of print, so if anyone knows where to get the pdf/digital version, I would appreciate it a lot!
