pickThe most sobering prose, poetic throughout and so so sad and deeply feeling.
But so beautiful in describing the environment, the people and the world.

I keep starting this then putting it down.
Beautiful prose but devastating and harrowing in ts portraya of WW2 and the aftermath
It's upsetting to read against current situation in Israel.
pickA poetically written book in two parts,the first focusing on Jakob who survives a Nazi raid on his home and the second about Ben, the son of two Holocaust survivors. Both characters live with the effects of loss and grief and are haunted by the past, everything Jakob had torn away from him and everything that distances Ben from his parents. Lovely writing that made me want to highlight so many passages.

Lots of good ones among these winners but in the end my vote went to an underdog: the tagged one. #womensprize #womensprizeforfiction
Just got into this one this morning. Beautiful, soulful. Anyone else read it?
My mother's day present: a couple child-free hours to read at my favorite coffee shop. (Incidentally, @pocketmermaid sent me this book while I was in college almost 20 years ago. Progress on my massive TBR is slow but always enjoyable. ☺️📚)
So, I‘ve been trying out a book buying ban this month. It really has not gone well. I bought these today at a huge discount though, so really, I‘m saving money right? 😜 #bookwormproblems
#BookMail No2 is, yes I know, another Bloomsbury Modern Classics Edition, this time Fugitive Pieces by Anne Michaels, poet laureate Of Canada. Told in two parts, it‘s a story about the Holocaust & the scars it‘s left on not just the survivors but on the next generations as well. Moving between Poland, Greece & Canada, it was on the Canadian bestseller lists for over 2 years & translated into over 20 languages. 2 more novels & I have the whole set!

There's a moment when love makes you believe in death for the first time. You recognize the one whose loss, even contemplated, you'll carry forever, like a sleeping child. All grief, anyone's grief...is the weight of a sleeping child.
