This is the kind of book you want to keep near you just in case you have a spare minute to read a page.
I‘m taking these two on vacation with me next week.
Immigrant stories are really speaking to me right now even though I feel like I need to continue my women‘s studies course.
pickMy 1st book after 4 months...
Took a very long time to start this book. I shelved it in 2021. Only started it yesterday and finished it in 2 days. It was really that good.
pickFinally finished this #AlmostAChunkster for #FoodAndLit #Cuba
It wasn‘t what I expected. It felt like a cross between a Jane Austen novel, Moll Flanders, and Gone with the Wind?
Set in nineteenth century Cuba, young Mulatto Cecilia (of unknown parentage, though we know straight away really) falls in love with a rich white man Leonardo. It is regularly remarked upon that she looks like his sister Adela. This is not a coincidence… 👇🏻
Finally starting Cecilia Valdes for #FoodAndLit #Cuba
I am looking forward to this novel, but also feeling a little overwhelmed! It‘s under 500 pages, but the writing is tiny!
It may end up over-running April 😂

A Book That #BeginsWith #Lost - Day 2. These are two of the novels I hope to feature for #DecolonizeBookshelves2022 - our new reading theme at GatheringBooks.
