The Yellow House: A Memoir by Sarah M. Broom

2.0

I’ll always think of this as my “just can’t get through it COVID-19 pandemic book”. So much less driving led to so much less audio book listening. It’s hard to say whether it was the book or the timing. There were very specific things I liked about this book. I enjoyed the narrator’s depiction of a favorite brother. I enjoyed thinking of the house as a character with a vital role in the family. But in general the theme of the yellow house only very loosely held the story together and it seemed to wander endlessly. I read it for a neighborhood book club that never really launched due to COVID. Glad to be moving on.
