This story of three good friends begins with a suicide. There seems to be no real reason why Noelle, a respected midwife, would take her own life. The other two friends, Tara and Emerson, are determined to figure out why. Their only clue, an unfinished note to someone named Anna saying, "...I'm so sorry..." What did Noelle intend to confess? What secret was she keeping? The closer they get to the truth they must consider, "What would you do for a friend?" An engaging read - something you might want to talk about after reading it at the beach.

Circe by Madeline Miller
Mythology as you never read it before. I knew nothing about Greek mythology so in the beginning I struggled trying to keep all the names straight. I even made a chart. I eventually just fell into the questions of mortality, power, and belief. What a fascinating story! Had an opportunity to attend a zoom presentation by the author - brilliant, funny, intense, convinced that the stories are still relevant. I agree.
