Welcome to Litsy!

I can‘t resist an early novel especially not one written by a French woman!

#BookReport week 44/19

The Man who Saw Everything was a quick read and everything I hoped for.
The Princess of Cleves, a kind of 18th century soap, I had to bail on. I used it for the public domain prompt for #Booked2019 though.
The Lowland had been on my shelves since 2014. I finally read it because it is set in Rhode Island, a state I still needed for #ReadingUSA2019. I enjoyed it much more than I anticipated.

So I had a good reading week!

A classic from the #1001books list. Really short but I didn't manage to finish it. I think it is supposed to be a kind of classic soap novel but I really couldn't keep track of all the character. Sometimes it seemed as if in every other sentence a new character was introduced or mentioned. Not for me!

For such a short book, this felt like it was never going to end. I enjoy classics, but the prose was a little too thick for me in this one.

Wonderfully frothy soap opera full of historical inaccuracies.

It's clearly Mary Queen of Scots season in my house: I have finally started this from my TBR shelf, as she is one of the characters in this very early novel. (I am interested in the history of the novel.)
