In the Unlikely Event by Judy Bloome 2016


This is a great fictional memoir: lots of little vignettes and remembrances, woven into short stories

It’s a large book ? 500 pages).  I didn’t have time to finish it before it was called back in.  I’ve been swamped of late and did maybe 15-20 pages a day, which wasn’t enough.

The writing style was pleasant, lightweight, which was good for me at this time.  The time period was the early 50’s which was very comfortable for me.  Many people don’t like to admit they were even alive at that time.

This was a new book and a best seller.  The library has multiple copies, but I’m sure each copy will be gobbled up quickly.
