so-soI‘m reviewing my reading year in preparation for #AuldLangSpine (eek!) and I‘m coming across several that I didn‘t review on Litsy. The Promise did not live up to the expectations I had—it‘s #EuropaEditions and it won the Booker in 2021. Though the set up is good: South Africa, white matriarch dies, grown children return home…will their mother‘s wishes to leave property to a long-time domestic worker, a black woman, be carried out?
And these are the items I purchased at the Brooklyn Book Festival, arranged by publisher. I was disappointed that one of the best publishers of interesting translated books (Restless Books) wasn't there this year.
Taking my newest Europa with me on the plane to Myrtle Beach.

Once upon a time I went to Paris on my honeymoon and went to the Louvre & Orsay, then 3 years later we went again on a self funded leave from school with a 2 yr old and then again in 2015 with a 16 yr old and an almost 13yr old. This time we made it to Beaubourg. This book is a reward for all my painting. I think I might do a chapter a day with it if anyone wants to join. My painting isn‘t done yet - maybe September 1 start? #europaeditions
Yay! I won a copy of #EuropaEditions Mona‘s Eyes by Thomas Schlesser!! There are fold out pages of the artwork mentioned in the book. I can‘t wait until it arrives!!
