“I began reading books, reading books to delirium. I began by vanishing from the known world into the passive abyss of reading, but soon found myself engaged with surprising vigor because the things in the books, or even the things surrounding the books roused me from my stupor.“
pickWhy would Andrew Carnegie, the ruthless industrialist, use the bulk of his huge fortune to improve educational opportunities for poor immigrants? This speculative historical fiction novel provides one possible reason, immersing the reader in an engaging upstairs/downstairs type tale. The details of Andrew Carnegie‘s life, and also those of his Irish immigrant maid, Clara, are fascinating and feel well-researched. ⬇️
Books 29-34 of the year read.
pickYou will like the main character Sasha. Quick read- lots of action
O‘Nan is so good. Truly. The way he gets into the mind of an 80 year old widow is astounding. Although I‘m not 80, due to all my autoimmune diseases I have a lot of the same issues that Emily experiences - difficulty driving at night and judging spatial relationships, the attention and concern about every slightly- off ache or pain, the bird watching. So impressed. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
