Before the pandemic hit, my friend and I hit up Amsterdam for a few days and it's reminiscing has me itching to go back.
The most famous line of one of Daphne du Maurier’s most well-known novels. I’m fairly new to this author and I’ve only ever read one novel by her. My Cousin Rachel was the first novel of hers that I read. I heard Rebecca was really good and had wanted to read that novel from the start but just got around to doing so after seeing the book on a shelf in Walmart that also advertised the new movie on Netflix. The novel starts with that famous line and the narrator begins her story. This narrator, who’s name is never given, is in France with her boss, Mrs. Van Hopper, as her lady companion when her story begins. Mrs. Van Hopper isn’t always very kind to the narrator and for the most part treats her as someone who is dispensable. While at the hotel they are staying at they meet Maxim de Winter who owns Manderley, the grand estate that everyone talks about and everyone wants to visit. When Mrs. Van Hopper falls ill, the narrator is able to live freely and do as she pleases. During this time, she meets Mr. de Winter and they quickly find that they enjoy each other’s company.

If you're looking for a quick-read that's funny with clever and witty characters, this one is for you. As a stay at home mom I don't always have the time to read so this "quick-read" actually took me quite a while. So worth the wait. I instantly loved Holly and her mother Kristen, aka Queen Bee (QB), and her sister Leslie. Their family dynamic made them an interesting bunch that kept me wanting to read just one more chapter. Beekeeper Holly McNee Jensen quietly lives in a world of her own on Sullivans Island, tending her hives and working at the local island library. Holly calls her mother The Queen Bee because she’s a demanding hulk of a woman. Her mother, a devoted hypochondriac, might be unaware that she’s quite ill but that doesn’t stop her from tormenting Holly. To escape the drama, Holly’s sister Leslie married and moved away, wanting little to do with island life. Holly’s escape is to submerge herself in the lives of the two young boys next door and their widowed father, Archie.

Sisters of the heart to be exact. However, there is a family secret that Sudha finds out that changes everything. Because of this secret, Sudha feels like she owes Anju for everything. Sudha’s Mother Nalini came to Pishi and Gouri Ma’s household with Sudha’s father, penniless.
