Betty Duffy: Good Book Alert!

Good Book Alert!

I'm reviewing Love and Salt for the Patheos book club. Fans of spiritual memoir, creative writers, doubters, and "God People" of all sorts, take note of this book.

Terri said...: My best friend of twenty-five years ordered this book and I'll place my order soon. We each have a box of our letters to each other. I heard an interview with the Love and Salt authors this week and I was moved to tears on my way to drop off my children at school. I'm looking forward to this memoir.; February 16, 2013 at 8:00 AM
BettyDuffy said...: I didn't want to say that this book will make you cry, but I wept through half of it. So good.; February 16, 2013 at 12:06 PM

“Maybe we should just read her blog and talk about it!!!
Wait...we already do that....

I'm finding certain phrases keep popping up in my mind the way they do with Will Ferrell movies, Seinfeld and 30 rock (Then I smile or laugh out loud and people think I'm weird).”—M.F.

“Some nights, after the glass of wine I did give up for Lent you are too smart for me and I have to switch over to ET online and come back another day! :)”—Irene

"I think you, like me, abhor and love pop culture in one breath."--Biz

“Yes, it is 2:30 am and I'm blaming you for dragging me to the computer tonight.”—E.H.C.

"How in the hell does she have time to produce such mastery?!"--G.U.F.

“Your stuff is good enough that sooner or later, one will take. Then you and your blog will be famous, and I can tell people we're related. Until then, I'll keep pretending I don't know you while in polite company.”—J.D.H.

Madonna Del Cardellino

Thinking kills me.

She contemplates the Cloister

She goes to the fancy dress ball as Juliet.

She finds some consolation in her mirror

She finds that exercise does not improve her spirits.

She decides to die in spite of Dr. Bottles

She goes into colors

She is disturbed by a vision which appears to be herself

She longs for seclusion and decides to leave town for a milder climate.

She looks for relief among some of the old ones.

Some think she has remained in retirement too long, Others are surprised she is about so soon.

She is the subject of more hostile criticism

And here, winning new friends and not losing the old ones, we leave her.

"The Widow and her Friends"
