#43 The Sentence by Louise Erdrich A small independent bookstore in Minneapolis is haunted from November 2019 to November 2020 by the store's most annoying customer. Flora dies on All Souls' Day, but she simply won't leave the store. Tookie, who has landed a job selling books after years of incarceration that she survived by reading with murderous attention, must solve the mystery of this haunting while at the same time trying to understand all that occurs in Minneapolis during a year of grief, astonishment, isolation, and furious reckoning.
It took me over a week to finish this book. It did not hold my attention. It rambled - there was the ghost story then the pandemic. I had no feeling as to where it was going. I would've put it down if it hadn't been a selection for my bookclub.
