Read to Me from... Beneficence by Meredith Hall

On Read to Me, we practice the essential, joyous skill inside great writing — listening. We listen for what we love in the work, and then put words to why it's so, so good.

Today, we read from Beneficence by Meredith Hall. We love its stunning hat trick: conveying devastating grief and deep family love, doing so through the embodied action of its characters, and carrying everything in sentences that are light and joyful on their feet. Plus, we explore why we never need credentials to love the written word.
