Welcome to Litsy!

A little late to the party but a slower start this morning allowed me to dip into this before I got my day started. Very happy to be back with the #europacollective!

I‘ve gone down a rabbit hole back tracking the chapters I‘ve read so far @tpixie ( I‘m about to start chapter 9) Thank you so much for mentioning this 😘 #europaeditions #europacollective

Chapter 5: Man And Woman By The Sea

I find the book well written & interesting but Francis Picabia & Gabriële Buffett are not very likable.
I find interesting what authors think of them.
At the end of Chapter 4, one relates responsibility for them & the other seeks their approval.

I have mixed feelings about this book. I loved reading it because it is so well written and I was intrigued by the main characters and the way they chose to live their lives. However, there‘s been written a lot about the art scene in Paris; parts of the book felt to me like I‘d read them before.
I‘d wanted to read more about Gabriele and Francis themselves instead of them crossing all over Europe and NYC ⬇️

Chapter 2
Young Girl In Paradise

Chapter 1: Encirclement
Starting Gabriële for #EuropaCollective
It‘s an interesting concept to have each chapter be named after Francis Picabia‘s artwork
I haven‘t read a book in first person tense in a long time. It‘s an interesting concept that they wanted it to be a “living tense“.

#JuneSpecials Day 5: #WorldEnvironment is explored so sensitively in this novel about so much grief and loss. Made me cry when I finished reading it last night. #CampLitsy25 June titles now done. Started with our #EuropaCollective pick for June last night.

I just started Gabriele for #EuropaCollective and I think I am going to like it. I am also reading Bright Young Women bug that‘s a slow read for me. Next will be the tagged - I‘d have preferred the American cover but this edition was much cheaper 🤷🏻‍♀️
