Start with the good book, The Hand That First Held Mine by Maggie O’Farrell, 2011. Two stories that eventually come together set in London in the 50s and now. Good writer, realistic depictions of people and babies. Liked this book.

Listened to 9/10 of A Visit from the Goon Squad by Jennifer Egan and do not understand why anyone would like it. I kept hoping it would get better but have finally given up. Characters I don’t care about, plot that does not engage, I don’t care about the manipulations of time. Glad to have left it.
