so-soThis month‘s #bookclub pick was undoubtedly the one the least amount of people finished (2/3s did not), but I am not sure why. I thought it was a quick read. Sold into slavery at six years old, Little Flower‘s life certainly goes from one tragedy to the next for most of the book. Linjing, her owner, does grow as a character but not before the reader wants her to receive some of the suffering her jealousy causes. Well-researched & fast paced!
pickA good one! A good one for our book club I think - we‘ll see how the rest feel when we meet at the end of March.
“Freed from words and images, released from books which sleep, spellbound, on library shelves, artistic inspiration remains, in Mirbeau‘s novel, on the level of pain that cannot be voiced in words.“ ~Robert Ziegler

pickMay be back in my historical romance espionage era after this one because I ate it up. I also loved that the heroine had the hero clocked from basically the beginning so while there were still elements of hidden identities and lying (all in support of the mission), she‘d had her suspicions all along. Also, espionage romances mean the odds of an outside antagonist in the third act are much higher!
Settling in for a much needed reading weekend amidst everything. I‘m in the middle of Accidently His (romance and espionage!), what should I read next? Currently leaning toward the Glutton since it‘s been on my TBR for a while.
