Welcome to Litsy!

Another book finished for #Scarathlon2022! This is the first book of the Campion series and is not as good as some of the later ones, but it's still an enjoyable English country-house mystery. It surprised me that Campion is not the main character in this novel.

David Golder is always looking for a way to make more money and nothing is ever enough. Neither for him, nor his wife and daughter.

A book about greed and love.

This was Nemirovsky‘s debut novel and was first published in #1929

4th book read for #JubilantJuly

Was looking forward to pick this up as I had heard about it about 2 years ago. A short classic that is worth the read to understand the push and pull of passing as white.

I can't even put into words how I feel about this essay, but Virginia Woolf makes so many very valid points about the lack of representation of women in literature through the ages.

Set in the 20‘s when the races began mixing a bit more publicly, Passing follows the lives, social perils, & personal risks faced by those passing as white. It didn‘t end at all the way I anticipated, but the views & overlaps of the various characters were very well done & the views of those living as white, verses those who passed on occasion, & those living their ‘birth race‘ lives were very well defined & the dangers of crossing paths explored.
