THE MUSEUM OF ORDINARY PEOPLE by Mike
Gayle is a soothing read centered around a young woman named Jess whose
mother’s unexpected death ultimately causes some re-evaluation of Jess’s life
choices as well as her definition of family. Along the way, she helps create the title museum after cleaning out
her mother’s home and finding an old set of encyclopedias which meant a great
deal to Jess as a child. This novel seems to tie in well with the holiday
season as it includes quite a bit of reflecting on past events and on memories
and feelings that everyday objects often trigger. Booklist recommends
the “moving and heartwarming” title for fans of Rachel
Joyce and Freya
Sampson.
