The Vulnerables

Pull up a chair in The Reading Lounge as we discuss The Vulnerables by Sigrid Nunez. The short, spare novel gave us a lot to discuss as we decided on our thoughts and ratings about the novel. The book takes place during the COVID pandemic as a woman navigates her new, adjusted life in New York City. She manages to create a couple of new relationships, including with a parrot named Eureka.And we found a cocktail aptly named Eureka for our libation!1 1/2 oz Bourbon3/4 oz lemon juice3/4 oz honey chamomile syrup Mix all ingredients in a shaker and serve over ice.The honey chamomile syrup was easy and could be used for cocktails, mocktails, or iced tea!Other books we discussed:Red Clay by Charles FancherAll the Beauty in the World by Patrick BringleyThe Women on Platform Two by Laura AnthonyThanks for joining us in The Reading Lounge.
