The Partner by John Grisham was another addictive read! About lawyers! Who'd have thought?!https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
The Short Story Club recently read Separating written in 1974 by John Updike. An American couple is deciding how to tell their four teens that they are splitting up. American suburban angst.
4★ My review of Separating with a link to the story online.
Pond is a curious meandering through the narrator's mind by Claire-Louise Bennett. Some stories are pointedly funny and self-deprecating, some are dreamy and philosophical.
4.5~5★ My review of Pond
