panDid I ever hate this. I was yelling at Elin for how dumb she was continually. How did she get to be a detective? Too many not well done troupes. A lot of meh characters that probably could have been combined. The cliffhanger at the end almost helped. I listened to the end out of spite. Too many suspects. I just hated this.
pickA magnificent blending of Brookner complexity and the elevated language of the self-important.
Edith Hope goes to Switzerland to hide awhile after damaging her reputation with a scandal. She's an author of "romantic fiction", who hopes to get some writing done. Her hotel on the lake is half empty. She has landed in a cozy isolation. So, of course, she gets involved with the other guests. Fun stuff.
While reading a 950-page edition of Thomas Malory, and the 900-page Collect Stories of William Faulkner, and waiting for The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny (came yesterday!), I‘ve started this wonderful 1984 Booker winner.

pickNot the tagged book, I guess Kracht's newest book isn't in the database yet.
I was sceptical about this, because after all the years since his last book my views and tastes have changed. But only a few pages in I knew, this is my favourite novel by him so far.
Loved the magical realism and the two plot lines that interfuse more and more. Not everyone will enjoy that, but I love it.
