Reading the new Tokarczuk and she tells the story of Saint Wilgefortis (aka Kummernis or Solicitous) a 14th century nun whose father tries to force her to marry and she is "given" the face of Jesus to show how virtuous she was and how she was called to religion.

She is considered the Patron Saint of Intersex people specifically and the LGBTQ+ community in general.

I know this book has so many accolades, but if this wasn‘t for Bookclub, I would‘ve tossed it 20 pages in. I‘m not a short story person, but when it‘s this chaotic, it‘s even worse.

SamAnne I didn‘t like it either. I found it self indulgent. I did finish it. 2w

4⭐️ Some things just don‘t change. The 19th century Warsaw was all about money, women, greed, and racism. It was bad then, it is worse now. I enjoyed Prus‘ humour - I didn‘t know he could be cheeky and funny 😆

Enjoying this chunky novel 😃 Are you tackling any chunkster now?

Amiable I‘m currently reading this book: 4mo
Dilara The book I am reading right now is under 300 pages, as were most of the books I read recently. I like to keep chunksters for holidays, when possible! I am wishlisting The Doll: it sounds interesting. 4mo
Ruthiella Just finished Wives and Daughters which is over 600 pages and am currently working on a collection of all three Kristen Lavransdatter novels 4mo

sisilia @Amiable That book has been in my possession for years 😭 I hope to read it soon 4mo
sisilia @Dilara It is surprisingly funny. Lots of giggles while reading it 🤣 4mo
sisilia @Ruthiella Wow 💪🏻💪🏻 How did you find the Gaskell‘s novel? 4mo
sisilia @LeeRHarry That looks quite chunky… and the cover looks serious 4mo
Ruthiella @sisilia It was fantastic. Completely restored my faith in Gaskell. She‘s been hit or miss for me. (edited) 4mo
sisilia @Ruthiella Oh good! I‘ll suggest this for my bookgroup 4mo
