It seems the only opportunity I have for reading these days is if I take some vacation time and get away from my day-to-day. I am working on fixing that! Over my weekend getaway I had a chance to tackle my TBR pile and came across Crossing Washington Square by Joanne Rendell. Since I work in academia, I am drawn to books with academic settings and this is the second of hers that I've read set in the fictional world of Manhattan University. Academia is (still) an interesting place for women and the tension in making it as a female professor is a great backdrop in which to explore the relationship between an established scholar and an up and coming star. That these two women have more in common than they realize helps set them on a path to heal their personal hurts and bring them together from their once diametrical opposing positions.
It's a story about friendship and healing, love and success. And who doesn't want that?!
