Loretta “Ru” Harrison has always cherished October—the brisk autumn air, the vibrant foliage, and the sense of possibility that comes with the season's change. However, as the COVID-19 pandemic engulfs New York, Ru’s once-vibrant world shrinks to the confines of her Queens cottage. At 62, with her career behind her and her family scattered, Ru finds herself alone, grappling with cherished memories, emerging fears, and a yearning for connection. As she confronts family disputes, her sister's profound grief, and her own aspirations in a city transformed, Ru must determine whether there is still space for hope.
“October” presents a poignant and intimate depiction of resilience, family bonds, and the bravery required to open one’s heart in a seemingly closed-off world. Margaret Johnson-Hodge’s latest novel beautifully captures the bittersweet essence of life during extraordinary times, reminding us that even in solitude, we are never genuinely alone.
