Review by Carolyn Howard-Johnson (310806) Rating (9/10) Review
by Carolyn Howard-Johnson Now, along comes Monica B. Morris. She's doing it, too. She's kept her locks dark but there is no doubt that That Ridiculous Blue Sky, a novel about three single women of that age or colour, fits with the trend. These heroines are perfect for the time. Excepting for an extra dollop of wisdom, they show us that years don't make that much difference, that generations and demographics cross. Ideally suited to make a point about trans-generations, this novel, too, refuses to be neatly packaged up and stuffed into a knothole. It's a little bit romance, a little bit mystery, and a little literary, too. It even has a whiff of aging chick-lit.
Ably written, That Ridiculous Blue Sky, has several subplots.
I did wish for them to be fleshed out a bit more but the way Morris
did it makes for a fast and entertaining read. One of the things
a few decades gives you is the awareness that you can't have it
both ways. |
