Rosa is independent, confident, pragmatic, judging and funny. Most of all, she‘s one of the most unreliable narrators I‘ve ever met! It would have been a totally different story from the POV of her daughter or granddaughter.
The book is about life in the USSR, leaving the country for Germany, trying to make the most of it under all circumstances.
It‘s quite unique and I can‘t wait to discuss it with the #EuropaCollective.

Currently reading the silmarillion and wow, I feel like I'm reaching a whole new depth of middle earth and it's so much information I feel like you should get a certificate or something when you're done lol

Continuing my #booksreadin2025.

Reread this for Nicola Coughlan!!
She brings such a fun freshness that highlights the wit and differences of the sisters themselves. She does a great job giving each character a different tone and sound, that I never lost place of who was talking as well as her actual speaking voice for the third person perspective in the book. Honestly, her narration was so much fun to listen to.

Orange Lilies: A Morton Farrier Novella | MR Nathan Dylan Goodwin
post image
Pickpick

After the revelations in the previous book, genealogist Morton Ferrier, an adoptee, decides to research his biological family, at least on his mother's side, particularly focussing on one of his great-grandfathers, who fought in WW1.

The dual timelines were effective, though I guessed the twist in the WW1 timeline very early on. The present-day (actually 2014) story had unexpected revelations, hinting at where Morton's story is going next.

This was my second read and it was just as fun as the first time.
