Mittagsstunde: Roman | Dörte Hansen
post image
Pickpick

Dörte Hansen‘s superpower is enumeration; her endless lists of events, characters and places present and past create novels like mosaics. Which, to my continuing surprise, I‘m really into – I binged Mittagsstunde within one sweet Easter weekend.

Off to Newfoundland for work for a couple of weeks. Packing the suitcase was the easy part. Deciding which books to bring however ….

Mehso-so

Mittagsstunde took me weeks to read, which is never a good sign. I finally set down yesterday, determined to finally finish it. It‘s not bad, but her first novel Altes Land is much better written and you feel a lot more with the characters.

Buechersuechtling Thanks for that review so that I know to only maybe pick it up when I stumble across it. 4y

#Poetry is so hit and miss for me but I was glad to hear this #Shetland poet‘s rhythms of weaving English in with the #island #dialect, speaking of identity, wholeness, loss, and change.
Ordered through #blackwells amazing shipping service from the UK 🇬🇧

A young girl and her family escaping slavery through the Underground Railroad as seen through the eyes of the girl's doll. A beautiful look at a brutal subject. Beautiful illustrations. Highly recommended for kids learning about slavery and the Underground Railroad. Just an overall fantastic read.

Dolores Claiborne | Stephen King

You gotta love Stephen King‘s feel for local dialect. This novel is one long chapter of a woman‘s account of her life under interrogation for murder. While I‘d like a few section breaks to keep a steady pace, I am enjoying the natural flow of the story from start to finish. King probably wrote it over a lunch break. #theking #murder #dialect
