Thumbprint | 
Finished thumbprint. Not my favourite read of the month, but decent all the same. The author's humanity and compassion shines through.
I read the French translation, and although it‘s perfectly serviceable, I am thinking that the English translation is probably better at rendering the various language registers.
And as feared from @Jari-chan 's post, keeping characters' names straight took a bit of effort, but I got there in the end...

Jari-chan Great you managed the names at the end 😁 and yes, it's a decent read 😊 14mo
Dilara @Jari-chan It helps that I was forewarned 😁- and to anyone else reading, don't be put off: it's really not a big deal (nowhere as hard as Russian novels, for example). It's just that I realised that I will conflate every 3-syllable name that ends with -er or every nickname that ends with -li and this is a book where you have to remember what comes *before* those endings if you want to keep characters apart 😃 14mo
Jari-chan @Dilara Right, Russian names are a totally different level 😁 I wish I was prepared, but if I'm going to reread it I am 😁 14mo
