My thirteen-year-old son checked this out from the library, and it looked so interesting that I told him I might want to read it after he was done, if he thought it was good. That night he took it up to his room at bedtime and hardly any time later he came down the stars and thrust the book into my hands, pronouncing it crazy (in a good way.) Well, I was already in the middle of several books, but my curiosity got the better of me, and I started reading it immediately. These stories are DELICIOUS. Maid is such a wonderful character, and despite my usual aversion to short story collections, I am loving this one so far. . . #anelderlyladyisuptonogood #sohocrime #helenetursen #womenintranslation #marlainedelargy #badassolderwomen #translatedfiction https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs8odolH-cc/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1l6ajts925cyj
