This is just embarrassing. Wish You Well was the winning title for Tell Me What to Read back in MARCH. Yes, March. More than six months ago. But I have persevered.
And now, many moons after finishing Wish You Well, I’m finally writing something about it (you may wonder if, after all this time, I can even remember what the book is about. I am wondering the same thing).
wish you well by david baldacci
The story begins with a car accident. Lou and Oz (a young brother and sister) lose their father and their mother goes into a coma that shows no signs of losing its hold any time soon. They are shipped off to live with their great-grandmother, Louisa, in the mountains of West Virginia. Louisa raised the childrens’ father too, and he always spoke lovingly about her, but when he left West Virginia in his early adulthood to become a (quite successful) writer, he never once returned, despite the fact that his books almost always revolved around West Virginia.
Baldacci normally does crime type novels, I think, but he did one called Christmas Train that is one of my mom's absolutel most favorite books in the world. It's the one she brought to DC for him to sign when we went and he was pleased as punch that someone showed up with that one instead of his more popular crime ones.
I do not believe this. Not at all. This author sounded familiar, so I went to the bookshelf. This book was right there. The other book is The Simple Truth. It seems to be a murder mystery/thriller set behind-the-scenes of the Supreme Court. Will have to read both. Thanks!
