Welcome to Litsy!

Beautiful adaption with Helen Mirren! Streaming on Amazon.

I appreciate the complicated & raw relationship between the two women.

This book was a trip. The narrator is a social worker who mostly works with children (I think). I enjoyed this behind-the-scenes look, the disjointed nature of the narrator‘s thoughts. Social work, work with the public in general, can you leave you feeling jaded and cynical, and maybe even a little deadened to things that should shock you. I look forward to reading more by Konrad. 241/1,001 #1001Books

It‘s that kind of Sunday morning … reading and a lot of sugar for breakfast 🤷🏻‍♀️

3⭐️ Not my favorite Szabo 😑 I didn‘t enjoy the jumping around bits. It‘s an inner monologue addressed to the narrator‘s dead lover. The narrator is Eszter Enczy, an actress who really dislikes her friend Angela she‘s practically consumed by hatred 🔥 It took me a while to connect with Eszter although her bitterness tired me down. An interesting way of story-telling but not so much on the reading enjoyment

I have been reading this book for 10 days and I just crossed the halfway mark. When one‘s mood doesn‘t not fit the book and vice versa….

Matching the season 🍂

Whilst I liked the premise...I wasn't thrilled with the the execution and for me the story fell flat. I prefer a character driven read and this one was just a little too much world building and too little character growth.

Also picked up at HPB today #blameitonlitsy #foodandlit #Hungary @BarbaraBB @Catsandbooks

"Journey by Moonlight": ?????
The protagonist is lost because the common expectations for an adult don't work for him and it's questioned whether they actually work for anyone. Many options of escape are shown, all have their downsides, but somehow everyone has to deal with life (and death) as good as they can.

Got some yummy pastries from the Hungarian bakery, note the paprika on the napkin.?

Just a blurb about how much I love the #foodandlit challenge. Every month my horizon expands to more of the world's literature, history, culture and of course various delicacies🥰

This book is another example, I don't think I would have found it otherwise. It feels very modern for a product of the 30s.
It's also quite refreshing to read from and less about this decade, without any artificial foreshadowing of the war.
