Welcome to Litsy!

I finished this yesterday. This was Helen Dunmore‘s final novel, as she passed away last year. I wanted so badly to love it, but the story just wasn‘t there. That said, Dunmore‘s prose was beautiful, as always, and she included an afterward in the book that made it worth the read. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #walterscottprize #prizelistreading

Right now I seem to be obsessed with Prize list reading. I‘m starting this tonight, which is on the Walter Scott Prize for Historical Fiction longlist. I was sorry to hear that Helen Dunmore passed away last year. She was a fantastic writer, and I believe this was her last novel. #walterscottprize #prizelistreading
