Welcome to Litsy!

#MiddleGradeMarchThroughTime

This beings in 1846 when Mexico loses the war against the United States. What is now considered central California, a ranching family faces the intrusion of Americans squatting on and chipping away at their land in the hunt for gold. This is a very short book and nothing really happens until the last 50 pages so it was slow going and I wish their was more historical content than just daily life on a ranch.

I'm undecided.
I liked the fact that there was a true philosophical tone to this... however, he did seem to have a lot of extremely good fortune throughout. Maybe I'm too cynical!
Still think it's an awesome cover 😊😉

Hoping this really is an amazing story!

This is one off my Mum‘s bookshelf so I haven‘t read it....

It‘s funny how it doesn‘t seem to have a ‘proper‘ title, just a very long subtitle...

If you need a nice easy read but also want a more feminist twist to the old midlife-crisis romance this is the book for you! It pretty neatly captures the colours, smells and the hubub of india from european eyes. Fun and likeable, predictable yet non-boring. Perfect to let the mind travel when the summer holidays are still too far off... 🇮🇳❤️🐯🌺 ps: the german title translation is way off and not representative!

Currently #readingatwork. Could be worse.
