I have seen so many lists the last couple of days with authors I had never even heard of, I'm not surprised not many have read those that I read especially since three of them are by German/Austrian authors that are hardly known across the border.Marianne https://www.blogger.com/profile/11810275740213848634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1009417175818512962.post-35828543175924206372022-01-27T14:23:57.188+01:002022-01-27T14:23:57.188+01:00Thanks, Emma.

I've read a few books by Ernest Hemingway before but this one made me realiye that there are many more that I still want to read. And if Paula McLain's other books are only half as good as this one, they are all worth reading.Marianne https://www.blogger.com/profile/11810275740213848634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1009417175818512962.post-64781138978015551302022-01-26T13:45:40.495+01:002022-01-26T13:45:40.495+01:00Thanks, Dini.

And I just checked, there are also several from Min Jin Lee. So, we can look forward to reading more books by them, even if they never write another one (which would be a shame, of course).Marianne https://www.blogger.com/profile/11810275740213848634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1009417175818512962.post-25483020418601699762022-01-25T22:20:58.583+01:002022-01-25T22:20:58.583+01:00Amor Towles!
