I've just started reading The Days of Abandonment by Elena Ferrante after finishing My Brilliant Friend. This book is among the New York Times's 100 Best Books of the 21st Century. I chose to read it after watching An Undoing, a documentary about healing from an abusive 20-year marriage using unstitching wedding garments, one stitch at a time.

Walking Hatless This Morning
Raindrops on My Bare Head
“I didn’t recognize you,” the woman said as I crossed the footbridge over Nomahagen Lake, her voice carrying the gently lapping water. “What happened to your hat?” she asked, eyes scanning my head for the missing accessory. I had forgotten my hat when I circled my apartment building to pick up the NY Times. For a fleeting moment, I considered retracing my steps to retrieve it, but by the time I hesitated, I had already begun my walk, bareheaded. “I feel like I am walking naked,” I responded with a light chuckle as the drizzle started to collect on my head, the cool droplets mingling with my hair.
