The Tenant of Wildfell Hall | Anne Bront�

This book totally surprised me. I wasn‘t expecting the force and complexity of the female protagonist that Anne Brontë so deftly depicted in this delicately woven story. This is an underrated classic that manifests beauty, subversion, wisdom, & some serious staying power.

Crime and Punishment | Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky

Crime and Punishment may be one of my #4newfavesin4days but Pyotr Petrovich Luzhin definitely isn't. He's that guy the #littleraskols love to hate!

The Owl Service | Alan Garner

Alan Garner's coming-of-age story brilliantly interweaves with Celtic mythology to create a tense, atmospheric modern fairy tale

The Line of Beauty: A Novel | Alan Hollinghurst

pick

This recent read has become a new favorite. There are some sociopolitical elements in the story, but the character study is what brings the force to this beautiful novel. What we get from Hollinghurst‘s micro-observations is a broad picture of human life through a very specific lens. When I was reading it all in one sitting, I noted: There‘s something intensely humanizing about being trapped behind the veil of a protagonist‘s insecurities.

saresmoore I think that‘s what makes a lot of books work. Keeping the reader cut off from objectivity forces empathy, but also reveals something nuanced and powerful about the human experience that otherwise couldn‘t be articulated. Anyway, I loved this and read it in one sitting for a readathon. #4newfavesin4days #4newfavsin4days 7y

Cinfhen Brilliant review 7y

dylanisreading What a fantastic review. Are you planning on reading Hollinghurst's latest? 7y

saresmoore @Cinfhen Thank you! 😘 7y

saresmoore @Bianca Thanks! I plan on at least trying all of his books. Have you read

The Sparsholt Affair

BarbaraBB Great review of one of my favourite books as well 😘 7y

saresmoore @BarbaraBB Thank you! ♥️ Have you read any others of Hollinghurst‘s? 7y

BarbaraBB I read and liked

The Swimming-Pool Library

BarbaraBB I have two others by him on my shelves but are postponing reading them because I like him so much ☺️ 7y

dylanisreading @saresmoore No, I haven't, but it's on my tbr now. The Librarian Is In raved about it. 7y

saresmoore @BarbaraBB I certainly understand that logic! 7y

saresmoore @Bianca Well, let me know when you get around to it. I‘m always up for a buddy read! 7y

Moray_Reads For some reason I always get Alan Hollinghurst mixed up with Julian Barnes. Which is strange because I've never read anything by Hollinghurst! 7y

saresmoore @Moray_Reads And I‘ve never read anything by Barnes! Have you read/liked anything by him? They‘re both older English white male authors, so I can understand the blurring. The Line of Beauty is a really impressive book. 7y

andrew61 I recall really enjoying it and the thatcher dance is a memorable scene. 7y

saresmoore @andrew61 Yes, memorable indeed! 7y

Vikkiha Great review. I loved this book. It‘s one that sticks with you. The characters are all so well developed. I would definitely read more of his books, have only read one other so far

The Stranger's Child

saresmoore @Vikkiha That one sounds great! 7y

dylanisreading @saresmoore Sounds good! I think I'm ten on the holds list at the library. Perhaps I'll treat myself to a copy for my birthday. 7y

saresmoore @Bianca That sounds like a great idea! 7y

batsy Beautiful review, Sara. Great points about objectivity vs seeing through a character's extremely flawed view (reminds me of Dostoevsky... do all roads in fiction lead me back to the big D?) A friend recommend this to me a long time ago and you've reminded me to read it. I'm also curious about

The Sparsholt Affair

saresmoore @batsy Thank you, friend! I am seeing the connections you see, too. Especially when I compare it with what I‘ve read of early/ancient storytelling up until the 19th century, it seems like Dostoevsky‘s claustrophobic subjectivity might represent a shift in literature and global cultural mythos. It makes me want to read more of Big D! Ha! 7y

#4newfavsin4days
Day 4. I loved My Name is Leon too, this is even better I think - the writing is wonderful and the story is sad and bitter sweet and so not what I was expecting!
She‘s coming to my Uni‘s literary festival later this year and I can‘t wait 😁

Cinfhen

Cinfhen I‘m excited for this book....especially since I ❤️Leon 7y
