Read and finished Heart Berries today:
Heart Berries is a powerful, poetic memoir of a woman's coming
of age on the Seabird Island Band in the Pacific Northwest.
Having survived a profoundly dysfunctional upbringing only to
find herself hospitalized and facing a dual diagnosis of post
traumatic stress disorder and bipolar II disorder; Terese Marie
Mailhot is given a notebook and begins to write her way out of
trauma. The triumphant result is Heart Berries, a memorial for
Mailhot's mother, a social worker and activist who had a thing
for prisoners; a story of reconciliation with her
father―an abusive drunk and a brilliant artist―who
was murdered under mysterious circumstances; and an elegy on how
difficult it is to love someone while dragging the long shadows
of shame.
Mailhot trusts the reader to understand that memory isn't exact,
but melded to imagination, pain, and what we can bring ourselves
to accept. Her unique and at times unsettling voice graphically
illustrates her mental state. As she writes, she discovers her
own true voice, seizes control of her story, and, in so doing,
reestablishes her connection to her family, to her people, and
to her place in the world.
And finished Oliver Loving. Now starting Killing in C Sharp

Read and finished Killing in C Sharp by Alexia Gordon
Gethsemane Brown fought off an attack by a sleazy hotel
developer who wanted to turn her Irish cottage into a tourist
trap. Now she must face a vengeful ghost determined to exact
revenge for her murder centuries ago.
This ghost’s wrath spares no one—not Gethsemane’s students,
Inspector Niall O’Reilly, fellow teacher Frankie Grennan, or a
group of ghost hunters descended on Dunmullach to capture proof
ghosts exist.
Proof Gethsemane has to quash to keep Eamon, her resident ghost
and friend, from becoming an internet sensation.
As if a spiteful specter wasn’t bad enough, a crooked music
reviewer turns up dead in the opera house orchestra pit, a
famous composer is arrested for the crime, and Gethsemane must
team up with a notorious true-crime author to clear his name.
If she doesn’t, friends will die, a ghost she cares about will
never know peace, and she’ll star in a final act gruesome enough
for any opera.
