Shortlisted for the 2024 Booker Prize, the book marries both despair and horror.  A lovely spring read.\nJune: Lillian Boxfish Takes A Walk  by Kathleen Rooney\nThis novel takes place over one night, and over many years.  Lillian Boxfish is 85 years old and sets out for a walk on New Years Eve 1984.  During that night,  she encounters the characters of the city, cab drivers, criminals, bodega clerks. During her journey, she reflects on her life as an ad woman for Macys, one of the highest paid in the biz, and the choices she made in both career and family.  The book covers the Jazz Age to the AIDS crisis, a lovely chronicle of the 20th century through the eyes of one woman.  The book is inspired by the real life Margaret Fishback.\n
