I liked Rebecca, but I think I liked My Cousin Rachel more. I still need to read Stay with Me and The Bear and the Nightingale.

I am not usually happy with books as hyped as this one, but all the hoopla was correct--an exceptional book.

I have only read three on the list: The Blind Assassin; The Book Thief; and Rebecca, but I have read books from every corner of the world. I have read everything by Jhumpa Lahiri (India), including the nonfiction she wrote about Italy and learning Italian as an adult. Many books set in England and Australia during all time periods, a few from Africa, Italy, France, Mexico, South America, and Japan and China. On another note, I started the Road to Jonestown (Guyana) by Jeff Guinn and it is excellent. I am reading about Jones time in Indiana during the early 1950's and Guinn talks about the subtle (and not so subtle) racism of the time. It was still around in the 1960's during my school years. You will enjoy this book when you get to it. Really good writing. Annie Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04988251466307015858noreply@blogger.com
