5 stars for The Visoko Chronicle
by Ivan Tavčar. A slovene classic set in the Duchy of Carniola (early modern Slovenia). All the natural landscapes and places mentioned in this book can still be visited today in Slovenia. It's a marvellous read.My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

My review of debut novel
The Cane by AA Maryrose Cuskelly, a slow burn of a mystery (no pun intended!)https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Happy 88th birthday on March 25 to Gloria Steinem, whose story of becoming a feminist activist and icon is told by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara. These "Little People BIG DREAMS" picture books are for children, but I am meeting so many interesting people myself!
4★ My review of Gloria Steinem
I really enjoyed The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro, about a super-professional butler who knows how to inspect the silver polishing but, sadly, knows nothing at all about people. Very touching. 1989 Booker Prize Winner.
5★ My review of The Remains of the Day"

SNAP Phrynne! Here's my review of The Younger Wife by Sally Hepworth. Right up to the last couple of pages, it was a 4.5-5* read for me, but that final twist...

Here's my review of Crazy Rich Asians by Kevin Kwan, which takes a familiar trope from Jane Austen's classic Pride and Prejudice and superimposes it within the world of Singapore's über-rich elite.
