Every now and again, there is a book I want to read in out Little Free Library. Tilt by Emma Patee appeared last year and I set it aside in favor of library books for a while. It was finally time to grab it. Amazon: “Annie is nine months pregnant and shopping for a crib at IKEA when a massive earthquake hits Portland, Oregon. With no way to reach her husband, no phone or money, and a city left in chaos, there’s nothing to do but walk. Making her way across the wreckage of Portland, Annie experiences human desperation and kindness: strangers offering help, a riot at a grocery store, and an unlikely friendship with a young mother. As she walks, Annie reflects on her struggling marriage, her disappointing career, and her anxiety about having a baby. If she can just make it home, she’s determined to change her life.” This was a disconcerting, but short read, and one I enjoyed. If only I hadn’t been listening to an apocalyptic book at the same time! The ending was a disappointment.
