Melina Marchetta’s Saving Francesca
Today there was an attempted coup, where an armed mob busted into the Capitol building in an effort to stop Biden from being certified as our next president. Obviously this was stressful for those of us who prefer a democracy to a white supremacist dictatorship, so I had to bust out the big guns of comfort reading. I don’t know why I find this book—about a teen girl dealing with a new school and a mother suffering severe depression—so comforting, except that it deals with problems in a realistic way and has a lot of really loving relationships, and a sense of coming out of the darkness? Which is a sense I really needed today.
