My at-home-holiday continues with a reread of this absolute favourite - 'Tolstoy and the Purple Chair' by Nina Sankovitch. It's a memoir about love, loss and healing, in which a woman grieving her sister sets out to read and write about a book every single day for a whole year. We learn an awful lot about life, love, family, war and pain - and also get a massive amount of very eclectic book recommendations on the way. We also get to feel like a part of this warmly happy family for a year, too. It's a generous and complex book that gives the reader a little more with each rereading.
It's the seventh of my rereads and revisits in a row - and after this one I'm ready to start on my pile of brand-new holiday books...!
