Five Tuesdays in Winter posted by Robyn

Five Tuesdays in Winter by Lily King is an eclectic collection of short stories.  Each tale is very different, yet the common thread is that most of them are coming of age stories about love in various forms.  Many are told in first person, reflecting back to a time of innocence and naivete.  A young girl is nanny for the summer and has an unrequited crush.  An adolescent boy is supervised for the summer by two older boys about to head for college.  Two college roommates reunite in middle age and discover surprises they weren’t mature enough to see years ago.  An old man watches over his seriously injured adult granddaughter in the hospital. The title story involves a single dad bookstore owner who is falling for his employee who is befriending his adolescent daughter.  All ten stories are beautifully told with a graceful elegance.  This book is also available for checkout in audio CD.
