This is centered around two people...a 12 year old first born of five living with her parents on a shantyboat in 1939 and their subsequent treatment by a children's home. The other is a young lawyer about to run for the Senate and get married who begins to learn she may be related to the first...somehow. I am left, as I often am by books and life, stymied by the atrocities we humans can commit for money and/or power.
I am now going back to War and Peace.
I find it surprising that I am not reading more quickly now that we are total shut-ins. TR's daughter learned from her doctor that it was nearly impossible right now to go anywhere and not get Covid. So, we are staying home and she is getting our groceries and anything else we need. When we go swimming every day, we sit and read for an hour or so afterward. But now I am pretty much watching television all the time and only reading at night after TR goes to bed. So, I am reading more slowly. But it is Christmas and I have about a million Christmas movies taped (mostly Halmark.)
