The saturdays by elizabeth enright5/29/2023 ![]() ![]() It wasn’t the first Enright book I read (I went backwards, from Spiderweb for Two), but it’s the only one I own. The Saturdays is the first of the Melendy family books, about Mona, Rush, Randy and Oliver Melendy growing up together in New York City with their widowed father. Which is why The Saturdays by Elizabeth Enright is such a charmer. Of all the weekend days, Saturday is the only day that is wholly one’s own. ![]() And Sunday evenings are just Monday-morning-Eve. Friday would be alright, if the first half weren’t spent in school. ![]() You can sleep in, get some solid hours of fun, and stay up late on a Saturday. There is something about Saturday that is better than any other day of the week. You have three times your usual allowance in your pocket, the entirety of New York City at your doorstep, and permission from your parents to go ahead, go out and enjoy, just be back by dinner. ![]()
