Landline goodreads6/23/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Only to discover that getting in touch with her husband via mobile phone is quite impossible. Then, as Georgia starts realising Neal is not even calling her and that might mean he's upset with her, she decides to make a move and calls him. But it's Christmas, they are supposed to go to Omaha and Neal boards the plane with his daughters, leaving Georgie in sunny California with her work. He is the stay-at-home dad and Georgie spends her life working. And Neal just drags along, without saying anything. ![]() As a matter of fact, Georgie always chooses her work over everything else. The way Rowell spun her story around this idea was not so.Ī thirty seven year-old woman named Georgie McCool chooses her work as a sitcom writer (or whatever Georgie does for a living) over spending Christmas in Omaha with her husband Neal and their two daughters Alice and Noomi (whose real name is actually Naomi). ![]() The idea that somebody in the present could talk with someone from the past over a landline phone sounds really interesting. That's what I feel that happened with 'Landline'. Like the author came up with a great idea for a book but wasn't able to write down a story up to the standards of that idea. I always find it quite a shame when the concept of a book is thwarted by its development. ![]()
