Where Are You | Bella Donnis

#whereareyoumonday @Cupcake12

Seems I'm into these two time periods, too.
LES MIS: 1830s Paris
THE SECRET OF CHIMNEYS: 1920s London
WIVES AND DAUGHTERS: 1830s Hollingford, UK (modeled after Cheshire)
“The Problem of Thor Bridge“: 1920s Hampshire, UK

And where are you in your book(s) today? 🤩

willaful I'm in Edwardian London, with an honorable cop and a perhaps psychic graphologist who has good reason to distrust the police... 17h

Dilara Very Victorian/Edwardian and European, so far! I am in France, at the end of the 19th century, beginning of the 20th, with a suffragist's essay published in 1908: Le vote des femmes by Hubertine Auclert.

dabbe @willaful Now that sounds intriguing! 🤩 17h

dabbe @Dilara I seem to love those time periods the most! And kudos to you for reading an essay! As a retired English teacher, I graded way too many of those to have read many lately--oh, who am I kidding--pretty much ever. 🤩 17h

willaful Actually, I'm wrong - it's post WW1, not Edwardian.

dabbe @willaful It's close enough! 🤣 13h

Every Man Dies Alone | Hans Fallada

#whereareyoumonday

I‘m in Nazi Germany this week. Not a fun place. But I think this is going to be a good book - worth reading and a particularly timely reminder.

kspenmoll This does sound good. Different perspective. Please keep me posted. 18h

Ruthiella I will. It was written by a German who experienced the war and the rise and fall of fascism and published this in 1947. So contemporary fiction. 17h

The Remarkable Truths of Alfie Bains | Sarah Clutton

Back in my home state, a fictional town called Beggar Rocks (which has a strong resemblance to Stanley including the home of Tassie's only Prime Minister and The Nut)

And it has a map!

The Ten Thousand Doors of January | Alix E. Harrow

The asylum January is sent to seems to be inspired by the Brattleboro Retreat in Vermont. In 1887, patients built a lookout tower as part of their treatment, but later, many tragically jumped from the top. The tower was eventually sealed off, but eerie stories about it & the surrounding areas still persist.

The Country of the Pointed Firs and Other Stories | Sarah Orne Jewett

#whereareyoumonday

While still visiting Norway and England in other books, today I am concentrating on Costal Maine, the setting of this collection of stories/vignettes by Sarah Orne Jewett, who was a writer much admired by Willa Cather.

Ruthiella @Cathythoughts It‘s very quiet with a lot of landscape descriptions. I think I can see where it might have inspired Cather. 1w

Andrea313 This is on my list, thank you for the encouragement to bump it up in my queue! I'm also loving these Smith & Taylor editions- so gorgeous. 💛 1w

Ruthiella @Andrea313 You are welcome. That is not the edition I am actually reading but I picked it for the picture because it is so pretty. 1w
