pickThis book won both a Newbery Honor and was a Sydney Taylor Book Award Honor, which is how it got on our book club‘s radar. We all learned some new-to-us history and appreciated the scope of the book. It moves through several generations of a family, taking place in four different countries and with four different protagonists. Lots to take in!
This was my April #BookSpin pick.
Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate. 🦃

pickLovely coincidence that as I finished this wonderful book, there was the author on portrait artist of the year. I was totally absorbed in the tale of 3 characters touched by a drop of water passing through history from the court of a mesopatamian King to a victorian child born in the slums rising to an archaeologist for B museum, a teenage hazidi mid the isis terror, + water scientist in 2018 living on a houseboat. Absolutely loved it.
pick4 Stars • I Am Pilgrim by Terry Hayes follows retired U.S. agent Pilgrim hunting a terrorist, Saracen, planning a biological attack on America. The fast-paced thriller tracks Pilgrim‘s global chase, from New York to the Middle East, blending espionage, personal trauma, and a race to stop catastrophe.

Thuis is waar je afwezigheid wordt gevoeld, waar de weerklank van je stem in leven wordt gehouden, ongeacht hoe lang je weg bent of hoever je bent afgedwaald, een plek waar nog steeds jouw harteklop slaat.
pick4 Stars • Honor by Elif Shafak traces a Turkish-Kurdish family, focusing on twin sisters Jamila and Pembe. Jamila stays in their village, while Pembe moves to London with her husband and three children. In the 1970s, Pembe‘s innocent connection with another man leads her son Iskender, driven by traditional notions of honor, to kill her.
pickAnother wonderful book by Shafak. She doesn't just write a story. She's weaving it.Each scene, each sentence a tiny string in a big, beautiful carpet of a plot. It made me value water even more, but not only this - I got a new feeling for how connected we all are. Not just linear, but over time and continents. It's hard to describe the feeling, that's moving inside of me, when I think about this book, so I don't even try.
