Review: Finding Langston

Finding Langston by Lesa Cline-Ransome
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

After the death of his mother, Langston and his father move to Chicago as part of the Great Migration from the South.

Often left alone, Langston discovers the library and develops a love of poetry which reminds him of his mother.

Beautiful story.
Excellent narration.
Loved it.

Hamnet by Maggie O'Farrell
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The world’s most famous playwright, his married life, his family,and the death of his son, all quite speculatively laid out in an exquisite, heartbreaking narrative. Wow. I’m speechless.
The audiobook was gorgeous.
The narrator perfection.
