Broken harbour by tana french7/1/2023 ![]() ![]() “I’m reading a great mystery novel by this Irish writer,” I said. ![]() Isaacson’s name only because earlier this weekend, when I was in the car with a friend, I launched into a similar soliloquy. She then went on to wax poetic about how much she loved the author. ![]() I won’t get into the specifics of why I was there, but I certainly didn’t belong. “What are you reading right now?” I asked her at a party a few years ago, at a New Year’s Eve party at the aforementioned institute, for lack of anything more interesting to say. I first heard about her from Cathy Isaacson, the wife of Walter Isaacson, the biographer of Steve Jobs, and the CEO of the Aspen Institute. The book was Broken Harbor, the fourth mystery novel by Tana French, an Irish writer whom I much admire. This afternoon, rather than working, I lay all curled up with an iced coffee and a bowl of candy corn, and finished it. I allowed myself the luxury of reading an entire book this week, mostly in my bed, eschewing obligation in favor of pure joy. ![]()
