[Things missing: an alarm clock, a walk before breakfast to beat the heat, the heat, the humidity, &c. “When he could have”: I don’t think Beverly Cleary would use singular they . The novel would explain somewhere in chapter 1 that Elaine and I both kept our maiden names when we married.]

How fabulous! I want to read the rest of Ch.1! Maybe I should have a browse at the library to see if any of Ms. Cleary's titles catch my eye; it's been more than long enough for a re-read.
ReplyDeleteOh gosh — I think my Cleary Channel is no longer working. (I have no plot.) We’be been reading and hugely enjoying the so-called First Love books in old library copies. Sister of the Bride Is my favorite. A few choice passages coming soon.
ReplyDeleteSurprisingly comforting!
ReplyDeleteI hope so!
ReplyDeleteYou sent this to me a while ago when I was Lost on Tumblr and I don't think I responded? Let me just say, you get an A+ in fanfiction!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I sat down and decided to work at it, if only for a few paragraphs. There may be more. The misery of world events makes this imaginary world pretty attractive.
