Tamara Agha-Jaffar | 425 comments Finished Once Upon a River by Diane Setterfield.
She's a gifted writer and it's a wonderful book.
It flooded me with a lot of personal memories of growing up in England with a tributary of the River Thames flowing at the bottom of our garden.

Marion Hill (kammbia1) | 30 comments I'm currently reading Lord of Emperors by Guy Gavriel Kay. Lord of Emperors is the second book in the Sarantine Mosaic and is a great read. Kay is one of the best writers currently working today.

Christine Hatfield  (christinesbookshelves) | 1379 comments I finished my 32nd book


message 1871: by Tamara (new)

Tamara Agha-Jaffar | 425 comments Finished Outline by Rachel Cusk.

An unusual novel consisting of a series of conversations which are akin to soliloquies or monologues with virtually no plot. Maybe not for everyone, especially if you like a lot of action in your novels, but I thought it was brilliant.

J.S. Dunn (httpwwwjsdunnbookscom) | 23 comments Author Anita Shreve's Fortune's Rocks
-- excellent. The story relies little on the history other than as its setting and overall morals of society, particularly toward unwed mothers.

Lois Herr | 16 comments I’m reading The Lives They Left Behind: Suitcases From a State Hospital Attic. Compelling.


message 1884: by Tamara (new)

Tamara Agha-Jaffar | 425 comments I finished Cairo Modern by Naguib Mahfouz.
He tends to hammer the point home, but I think the theme of the novel is as relevant today as it was when he wrote it in 1945.
