pickFantastic, gripping yarn with a depth that belies its length; fascinating too for its (post)colonial scope. Don't be put off by substandard tv movie adaptations--this is on some other level entirely.

Prompt: Brad Pitt
These are totally different stories but they are both about brothers that are opposites. Both are excellent studies on human nature.
I love how small this book is, with a lovely cover too- over 100 years old. Iv been noticing in old books there is often an image before the title page, with a thin tracing paper like film between. I‘m assuming this is for protecting image bleed and smearing? I love the style and it‘s always so neat to see how much thought was put into choosing an image for the book. Excited that this is in my to read pile. ❤️ #oldbooks #oldbookstores #usedbooks
