I didn‘t read much this week, work was demanding much of my attention. The Tokyo Suite is this weeks‘s favorite.

A nanny kidnaps the little girl she takes care of. It takes a while before their disappearance is noticed because the girl‘s mother has a career and much going on. In this story the intertwined stories of mother and nanny highlight the societal expectations placed on women and the consequences. A very surprising read! Thanks for the rec @Lesliereadsalot

I have started Audition for #CampLitsy25 and halfway through I still don‘t have a clue where the story will go. But I like it.
Next will be The Tokyo Suite and hopefully I‘ll start Bright Young Women too!
Really liked this Brazilian novel from Europa Press. If #EuropaCollective was still around, this would be my recommendation. Why does Maju, nanny for a well-off family, decide one day to kidnap the little girl she watches? The story alternates points of view between the nanny and the mom. Richly drawn characters and a good story!
“I‘m kidnapping a child.”
Well that‘s a showstopper if I‘ve ever read one!
