Chiming in with Rona... the series of career setbacks really spoke to me. It was almost nourishing to think about who I might send a card and a box of chocolates for turning me down for a job that wouldn’t have been right in any way. Thank you to everyone who didn’t buy lotions or bath salts from my sensory shop! Processing inventory was not my future. 🫶🫶🫶

The highlight for me was the series of career disappointments that turned out to be an escalating stroke of luck. As for rereading, I’ve read Shirley Hazzard’d glorious TRANSIT OF VENUS three or four times and am not done with this novel.
