But, same as all his other books, it's totally worth it.<br /><br />I have only chosen those authors where I've read several (hence the links I can provide to all my reviews) and loved all of their books, so I hope there are some reads among them that others love, as well.<br /><br />Thank you for visiting.Marianne https://www.blogger.com/profile/11810275740213848634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1009417175818512962.post-10806022067420082952020-12-02T14:08:08.799+01:002020-12-02T14:08:08.799+01:00I hope you will be able to pick up a book or two b...I hope you will be able to pick up a book or two by these authors because they really are great.<br /><br />Thanks for your visit, Hopewell.Marianne https://www.blogger.com/profile/11810275740213848634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1009417175818512962.post-84393049076810907832020-12-02T14:06:58.815+01:002020-12-02T14:06:58.815+01:00Thanks, Susan.

LOL. I think that's because he is American. Maybe you have watched the movie made by his most well-known book: <i>Cold Mountain</i> with Jude Law, Nicole Kidman, Renee Zellweger and Donald Sutherland (my favourite actor of those four).<br /><br />Mary Lawson is Canadian and I discovered her through a Canadian member in my international book club.<br /><br />Rafik Schami is Syrian but has lived in Germany for decades. He writes in German and not all of his books have been translated into English but those that I reviewed here are available. Mind you, you would probably also read the German ones, right?<br /><br />Anyway, you will find all their books on the link.Marianne https://www.blogger.com/profile/11810275740213848634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1009417175818512962.post-80664797561466617052020-12-01T22:20:39.596+01:002020-12-01T22:20:39.596+01:00These authors certainly do need more hype because ...These authors certainly do need more hype because I haven't heard of most of them.
