Russian Winter: A Novel | Daphne Kalotay

Mehso-so

There were some very good things, but overall this was just pretty good. Multiple MCs, all three of whom have their own storylines including some flashbacks for two and an entire past story for the primary (told in present tense, naturally), makes it a challenge to follow. My main issues are that the whole conflict arises from NOT TALKING TO EACH OTHER, and caused major grief for lots of people; and that there‘s no real resolution. It just ends.

ravenlee It was good to read something that‘s been on my shelf for over a decade. #52books23 #cityorcountrynameintitle 1y
TheBookHippie 🙃🖤 I loved this book 😂🖤 1y
ravenlee @TheBookHippie I can see how it could be loved, and I wanted to love it. Maybe if I‘d read it sooner I might have. 1y
TheBookHippie @ravenlee I read it in the dead of winter I think that helped! 1y

Angus loves things that sparkle and glitter and gleam. He loves his grandma‘s necklace that she gifts him when she realizes it brings him joy, but when he wears it to school, the reaction of the other kids dims that joy.

Jewels: A Secret History | Victoria Finlay
post image
Pickpick

The author travels all over the world, chasing the (hi)stories of various jewels.

A very well structured book. Each jewel gets its own section, and we pursue it from the ancient times to the modern, and from the jeweler to the mines it was dug up in (the author visits those mines, and often tries mining herself). It‘s fascinating, coherent, and flows really well.

5/5

eol Also, after reading this book, I‘m even more in favor of buying artificial, lab-produced gems—at least no one got hurt, died, or got cheated while digging them up... (edited) 2y
