If you read my old blog, you know I like to give warm, musical welcomes to new books. Today I’m welcoming Kathy Erskine’s novel Quaking as it comes out in its paperback edition! (That counts as new, right?)
Follow me over to the time-machine that is youtube to watch Elvis Costello singing (What’s So Funny About) Peace Love and Understanding. With Nick Lowe (who actually wrote the song). In Japan! I think it speaks to the underlying theme in Kathy’s novel. Plus, it’s Elvis. And Nick!
I’m also including a link to the chords for the song, just in case you’d like to strum along.
Aw, thanks, Madelyn — I love that pairing!!
