I have never felt drawn to this book and then suddenly I was 🤷‍♀️ It‘s sad and really pulls at your heart strings but I thought it was a brilliant piece of writing.
Like @CBee I‘m using for #booked2023 #setin2+timeperiods

squirrelbrain I have this on my shelf, I really should get to it soon. 1y
Cinfhen I started this book ages ago but couldn‘t get into it…but now you, @CBee and @Megabooks all gave it glowing reviews ♥️ I might have it try again 1y
CBee That‘s exactly how I felt! Let it sit there on my Kindle forever, then when I started it I was just totally sucked in. So glad you enjoyed it 😊😊 1y

TrishB @Cinfhen @BarbaraBB that‘s why books are great 😁 1y
TrishB @CBee so many lost books like that! 1y
Cinfhen So true, Trish every book isn‘t for every reader! Thanks for letting me know you felt similarly @BarbaraBB 1y
Cinfhen Also a lot of time the right book needs to be read at the right time in one‘s life ❣️ 1y
CBee @Cinfhen this book was really a perfect example of that for me 😊 1y
CBee @TrishB I know! I went through my Kindle recently and um, there are a LOT 😂🫢 1y
Cinfhen It‘s true for so many books @CBee ☺️ 1y
BarbaraBB @TrishB Absolutely. Also I had an audiobook which may not have been the best format for me. 1y
jlhammar Loved this book! So glad you enjoyed it. 1y

This was a pick, but only just. Some parts were fascinating but I loved the shortest section, on #frenchguiana most, followed by #suriname and then #guyana, which was much more than half of the book.

The author wrote everything in the present tense, but jumped around chronologically so it was very difficult to follow.

Quadruple dipping again!

Bluebird Great job on choosing books that fit so many challenges. I love your penguin books collection. I was so sad when they changed their covers.. 1y
squirrelbrain @bluebird - I think it‘s much easier at the start of challenges; it‘ll get more difficult the less choice I have. 1y
