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.

Just finished The Grapes of Wrath. Next read . . . Slaughterhouse-Five. Steinbeck was a master. Got to thinking about him while running around Salinas.
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.

Thanks.
I just finished Hannah Dennison's fourth book in her Honeychurch Hall series - A Killer Ball at Honeychurch Hall. I binge read the series over the weekend. I'm now clearing my palette with a Ngaio Marsh, Tied Up in Tinsel. (I'm rereading them in order.)
Just finished "Green Mile" by Stephen King (5 stars / 5) and "Zorba, the greek" by Kazantzakis (2/5).Currently reading "100 years of solitude" by Garcia Marquez and "On Writing" by Stephen King.
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.

Read Sadar's Keep by Midori Snyder and reviewed it - https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2776880761.
Read Agatha Christie's The ABC Murders and reviewed it - https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2781789897.
Read Silver on the Tree by Susan Cooper and reviewed it - https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/1398214749.
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.
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.

Read a utopian/dystopian novel from the nineties with a difference - Starhawk's The Fifth Sacred Thing - and reviewed it - https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2783199523.
Currently reading "The Five: The Untold Lives of the Women Killed by Jack the Ripper", a very well-written and well-researched book about the Ripper's five "canonical" victims.
I just finished Trans-Sister Radio by Chris Bohjalian! Excellent book by an excellent author. My reviews are posted on Amazon and Goodreads.
Just finished If Beale Street Could Talk. Sad this still represents reality for so many.
