Hurt and hatred are stubborn guests, but time softens even the sharpest blades and we're left with the lightness of letting go.

pickJonathan Safran Foer's “Everything Is Illuminated“ is beautifully layered, rich in humour, emotion and heartbreak. A stunning exploration of memory, history and identity. One of my favourite books!
★★★★★
pickNot my favourite Kate Quinn but no one does historical fiction as well as she does. Mila was understandably prickly and her backstory was captivating but ultimately, the amount of violence was a bit above my threshold.
A 2024 read
pickThis is a story told through alternating timelines including Matthew in the U.S. in 2020 and 3 cousins in Soviet Ukraine and the U.S. in the 1930s. Mila has grown up never knowing want and believing the party propaganda, Nadiya‘s family has starved in the Holdomor but she manages to show up at Mila‘s door to ask for help, and Helen‘s family has immigrated to the U.S. but is still in touch with Nadiya.
