#6Degrees of Separation:
from After Story (Goodreads) to Girl in Hyacinth Blue
#6Degrees is a monthly link-up hosted by Kate at Books Are My Favourite and Best. I love the idea. Thank you, Kate. See more about this challenge, its history, further books and how I found this here.
The starter book this month After Story by Larissa Behrendt.
I have not read this one, so here is the description:
"When Indigenous lawyer Jasmine decides to take her mother Della on a tour of England's most revered literary sites, Jasmine hopes it will bring them closer together and help them reconcile the past.
Twenty-five years earlier the disappearance of Jasmine's older sister devastated their tight-knit community. This tragedy returns to haunt Jasmine and Della when another child mysteriously goes missing on Hampstead Heath. As Jasmine immerses herself in the world of her literary idols – including Jane Austen, the Brontë sisters and Virginia Woolf – Della is inspired to rediscover the wisdom of her own culture and storytelling. But sometimes the stories that are not told can become too great to bear.
Ambitious and engrossing, After Story celebrates the extraordinary power of words and the quiet spaces between. We can be ready to listen, but are we ready to hear?"
The best way to deal with books that I haven't read is usually to go by words in the title. So it was this month. The starter word is after.Ruiz Zafón, Carlos "The Angel's Game" (E: El juego del ángel - El cementerio de los libros olvidados #2) - 2008
Brownstein, Carrie "Hunger Makes Me a Modern Girl" - 2015
Is there a link between the starter book and the last? There seems to be a lot about literature in the first and the last is about art. Does that count? Otherwise ... they are both written by women.

Thanks, Emma, I saw it but didn't have the energy to comment yesterday. Will do so soon.
DeleteI like these title word chains because the types of books we see are often very varied! Nicely done!
ReplyDeleteVery varied indeed, Davida. It doesn't always work and I also like the ones where we jump from one content to the next, they all have its charms. Thanks for the visit.
