Sarah, I love your summary of The Diviners and our experience buddy reading it with Maya! I couldn’t have said it better. I hadn’t considered that John Irving’s novels cover similar family relationships territory and have a similarly humorous tone, but I can see it now. Minus the strong feminist slant. Going off on a tangent, I was pleased to learn that Irving became a Canadian citizen about 5 years ago. Hope your wallet turns up soon. 🍀

I'm always pleased when people assume I'm a Canadian citizen when I'm traveling. John Irving isn't the best comparison, but I'm still trying to figure out who to copmare her to for an American audience. Thoughts?
