Books of May

The Plot:  I enjoyed this story of a writer who was a one-book wonder and because of his stalled career is teaching creative writing at a nondescript school somewhere in New England.  One of his students tells him the plot of a novel he's writing.  It's awesome.  When he learns that his student died, he writes the book himself.  You have to read on to find out his how life changes to the good and not-so-good.  And no, I didn't figure out the ending although some reviewers on Amazon did.  Even if I had, I would have enjoyed the story.

The Last Thing He Told Me.  After her husband goes missing and leaves her with his daughter, she learns what really happened.  It's on the best seller list.  I give it a B+.

A Gentleman in Moscow.  The story of a man under lifetime house arrest in an elegant Moscow hotel and how he makes the best of it.  A charming story, lovely writing.
