pickIf now is everything, Pepper has chosen to use it for an afternoon snooze.
My 12th from the #Booker longlist is one to read slowly and carefully. Layered and indirect. Teresa returns to a coastal town in Greece to mourn and read Homer. And she instead spends a lot of time insinuating herself into the private lives of locals. The reader has to work out the actual story and what she‘s doing. Recommended, but know it‘s difficult.

Graywacke @charl08 @dabbe @Ruthiella @Leftcoastzen she‘s very flattered. Thanks all 2mo
BarbaraBB Great review. It was a slow burner indeed and well worth it. 2mo
Graywacke @BarbaraBB yay! Another fan. It was well worth it me. I‘m glad many of us share affection for this difficult book. 2mo
Suet624 How are you feeling about the shortlist selection. 2mo
Graywacke @Suet624 I‘m kinda buzzed happy. No Seascraper, or Endling, but I watched the livestream and loved everything they said. And since I‘ve enjoyed all 13 books, i was bound to be content. 🙂 2mo
Suet624 Oh, I‘m happy to hear that. It‘s such a challenge to read the long list and I was hoping you weren‘t disappointed. 2mo
Graywacke @Suet624 I‘ve been a little obsessed 🙂 (although, correction, I‘ve only read 12. Awaiting Desai‘s new novel) (edited) 1mo
