pick4.5/5 - almost too many twists and turns…to the point of slight confusion. but that is probably a “me” problem. very good writing, great mysteries and well developed characters.

As they ascended, retreating farther from the winding trails that marked the way to nearby villages, the world opened to him in its purest form: silent, ancient, mysterious.

pickI re-read 2 novels from this omnibus edition:
pickI may have shed tears on my physical copy of this one. This is a slow-burn hug of two love stories - man/woman and parent/child, 1925 and 1936. There was no excitement or mystery to anxiously finish a chapter, but there was this weight of undeniable love holding me in my comfy chair and crushing on Lawrence Weston.

so-soThis mystery plot dragged a bit and was rather convoluted. I much prefer the previous Holmes and Watson novel I read by this author. (See my previous post.) I do like her portrayal of Holmes and Watson, though.

I have been obsessed with Artemisia Gentileschi since reading the tagged and it is so interesting to see one of her paintings in real life.
Here is Susanna and the Elders
pickThis book broke me. And again. And again. And again. I do get sad while reading books, but it's unusual that I can't read the text anymore because there are tears in my eyes. Constantly. I couldn't read 4 pages without the urge to just break into tears. I didn't want to continue, but I wanted to continue. I also wanted to give it six stars on GoodReads, but I was only allowed to give five. Which is not enough. This book needs more. 1912 forever.
In the author‘s note, she describes the Nicaraguan poet‘s life, the subject of this book. Rubén Darío (1867-1916) appears to have had a tremendous impact on Latin America and in his home country, #Nicaragua. #foodandlit @catsandbooks
“This loss of words must be the first shock faced by every immigrant.” 😢
