2025 book 56

 Alison Lurie's Real People

I'm not sure why I wanted to read this book/bought it, but it was sitting on my kindle so I figured I'd see what the deal was. It's a novel written as the diary of a woman, a short story writer, at at artist's retreat. It was published in 1969 so it's an interesting view of the times for sure, and I do love an epistolary/diary story. I did enjoy this, though I was never super invested in the plot or characters. The look at the creative process and the compromises an author may or may not make was pretty compelling. Pretty lightweight though. B+.
