Cheryl Strayed is probably best known for Wild, the poetic journey across the Pacific coast. Two Women Walk Into A Bar is a story of loss, from the narrator meeting her future mother in law through nursing her through a terminal illness. It’s a meditation on loss and the bond between a Mother and a son and often how the spouse is the excess thread. It’s beautifully written, which I am presuming comes down to the tale being semi-autobiographical. It’s the kind of book you can read in a coffee break (22 pages) and you’ll need another to recover. My thanks go to Amazon Original Stories for a preview.
