What I'm reading

Fall On Your Knees - Ann-Marie MacDonald

September 7, 2026

I first read this book years ago on the recommendation of a work colleague who was on a kick of reading debut novels. It’s one of my favorite books. We went on a road trip through the Canadian maritime provinces and since this book is set on Cape Breton Island, I figured it was the perfect time to reread it for the…I dunno…the fifth or sixth time maybe? I’ve lost track.

From the blurb: The Piper family is steeped in secrets, lies, and unspoken truths. At the eye of the storm is one secret that threatens to shake their lives -- even destroy them.

omg, so many secrets, lies, and unspoken truths. I do so love a multigenerational family saga with Gothic undertones.

Also from the blurb: Compellingly written, by turns menacingly dark and hilariously funny, this is an epic tale of five generations of sin, guilt, and redemption.
