I just finished this and I’m not ok. I know it’s going to be a book I read once a year every year forever and im sad that I won’t ever read it for the first time again. It’s breathtakingly beautiful and filled with magic. Solid 5 stars from me. @sfletcherauthor.bsky.social #booksky

Finished #Nesting by Roisin O’Donnell and it has broken me wide open. I’m not sure I have the words. Longlisted for the @WomensPrize - I’m sitting with tears rolling down my face and dripping off my chin. @scribnerbooks.bsky.social it is utterly perfect. #booksky

I am desperately attempting to recall the title of a novel I read in the 1990s about a town in a drought and a guy with the supernatural ability to call down the rain who discovers there’s a malign force preventing him from doing so. Written by a female author. Can anyone help me? #booksky
