Window Over the Desk (Tales from the Window Book 2) Kindle Edition

by Liz Flaherty (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
5.0 5.0 out of 5 stars 4 ratings
In 2020, I released the first collection of Window Over the Sink columns. It was for my family, really, and to give my own ego a boost. (Any writer who says she doesn’t need that now and then is lying, by the way.)

It was so much fun.

Which is why I decided to open the Window Over the Desk. My view out this particular window is a favorite—even today, when I’m drying…things…on the clothesline. Also today, the hay bales in the field that have given me pleasure for several weeks have been gathered and stored for the long winter.

I hope the essays in this book give you some pleasant reading time over that winter. I hope they make you remember things, laugh sometimes, and refill your cup and sit down and read “just one more.”

As I mention way more often than is necessary, I’m kind of old. The years have dimmed some reflections through the window, brightened others, and changed a whole bunch of them. What a trip it’s been.

Thanks—again—for joining me on the journey.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I was always daydreaming as a kid, about living in elegant places where other people made your bed and dusted your furniture, wearing clothes that screamed triumphantly, "Liz Claiborne, size two!" every time I put them on, and writing blockbuster novels.

Instead, I live in a big old farmhouse back a dusty lane, where whoever is the last one out of bed makes it and no one bothers with dusting. My clothes mumble sheepishly, "J. C. Penney, buy a bigger size." And my novels aren't what you'd call blockbusters. What they are is stories about people like me and maybe like you, whose dreams have gone awry or simply withered up and died. It's my job as a writer to take care of those dreams, either by straightening out the old ones or finding new ones. Either way, I love it, and I'd love hearing how you feel about how I've done that job. Email me at lizkflaherty@gmail.com

    These essays are like having a conversation over the back fence with a neighbor, if people did that anymore. The author covers a wide range of subjects, and whether you agree with her or not, it's soothing and interesting and mostly non controversial anyway. It's a good book to go back to and read a chapter or two to relax before bed or to pass the time in between appointments. There are thoughts on love and loss and struggle, as well as victories and triumphs. She shares memories that remind me of my own memories, which makes this book especially enjoyable.

    There are also nuggets of gold like this: It's about finding the good and enjoying it until you have to let it go. And then finding the good again. It's about loving when you don't feel like it, laughing when crying would be easier, and to put it into social media language, scrolling on by if it's something you can't change.

    Liz Flaherty has done it again--given us a another collection of her musings and memories in a second edition of her essays. Window Over the Desk is a charming, moving, funny, and delightful compilation of articles from her column Window Over the Sink, these written from the perspective of her office window, where she sits each day, writing and sharing her unique worldview. If you enjoyed Window Over the Sink, you'll fall in love with Window Over the Desk!
