Sallie venerates The Power by Naomi Alderman, Sarah venerates The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern, and Sophie venerates Mr Bump by Roger Hargreaves — the children’s book that made her a reader.
We get into the people and moments that turned each of us into readers — the teacher, the parent, the library, the one book that did it.
Then we’re into Section Three of A Little Life — Vanities — following the characters into their adult lives and the strain that puts on their relationships.
