Welcome to Litsy!

I have been reading this month, although not commenting/reviewing much.

I even got a Bingo!

Here's February's #BookSpin Bingo board!

"Why were you embarrassed by her?" asked Farrokhlaqa, unwilling to leave the subject. "There's no shame in becoming a tree." ?

Fairytale, magical and beautiful.

Fantastic read so far #januarybooks

Starting this today 🦋

...and I have no control, here's 15 more great reads from my 2017 reading list. Because 15 is the limit for a collage on Photo Grid 😂.

This novella starts out feeling like linked short stories until the women‘s lives intersect. The magical realism reminded me of Allende or Marquéz but set in Iran in the 1950s. It shows everyday women and their relationships to each other. It‘s really very beautiful. I loved it and will now try to track down more translated works by this amazing woman! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Anyone familiar with this book? #iran

Fascinating! Recent Iranian history with a touch of mysticism. I will be looking to watch the film very soon!
