One of Polly‘s IB literature book so quickly read whilst she was home for the weekend. It was fun and frivolous. I believe I saw the opera 20 years ago. All a bit silly and I now realise I probably should have read The Barber of Seville first.
Second book in The Prairie Trilogy by Willa Cather. Each book centering on a woman, strong ones. Immigrants, family, mid west settlement, life choices and more.
pickThis novel about 18th century castrato is an amazing piece of literary fiction. She did a crazy amount of research on this one, there's nothing like it out there.
pickCommissario Brunetti, a chief detective in Venice, is a splendid character. He feels so very human working through each day trying to solve who murdered a world-famous conductor in the middle of the opera. I suspect I relate to him as we work through work problems in similar ways. I appreciated how the author described his interactions at home, his boss, the witnesses all in relation to his workaday issues. Excellent descriptions of Venice as ⬇️
so-so+ I enjoyed reading the family scenes
+ Description of Venice was fabulous
+ I liked Commissario Brunetti and his interactions with the other characters (his children, suspects, his boss)
- I vehemently disliked the public prejudice of lgbtq. It implies a mother, identified as lesbian, could lose custody of her children
- (TW) child abuse
- Translation at times was confusing.
