Reading Journey: The Muralist

Day 1

Hello, fellow book lovers!

Today is the first day of reading The Muralist by B. A. Shapiro. It’s a thriller that's related to art. I’m not really an artsy person, but at the same time, I am kind of interested in the combination of suspense and art. I think this book will give me a different kind of experience, so I’m looking forward to it.

Poverty conceives high ambitions that call you to take risks. When you have nothing, you hold on to any prediction of a brighter future. You constantly look for signs and defy the status quo bravely, unaware of the consequences.

All That Shimmers by Kady Ambrose illustrates this struggle through Vanessa Perkins, an orphan who works as a nanny for a wealthy family. Seeing the happiness of the rich families she encountered, she dreamed of building a family of her own with a man who truly loved her.

Your destiny is a man of sterling and gold...

These were the words of a woodland fairy who appeared to Vanessa, giving her a glimmer of hope. With her stunning beauty and charming personality, Vanessa could easily fulfill her dreams. But alongside the war and the Spanish flu, lust, greed, and betrayal rose and turned the course of her destiny.

Could Vanessa escape poverty? Could she finally find a family where she felt loved and safe?

All That Shimmers is a debut novel by Ambrose.

Overview

Welcome to Sunlit Books

This is a space where we don’t just read books, we talk to them, question them, and sometimes even argue with them.

I started this blog because I constantly underlined passages, scribbled thoughts in the margins, and wished someone else had seen what I saw in the story.

So here we are, you and me, unfolding books together.

You’ll find simple summaries, big ideas, and a few questions that might stick with you long after you’ve finished the post.

We’re here to explore.

Thanks for stopping by.

Let’s see where these stories take us.
