Welcome to Litsy!

That was no quick pleasure. The prologue was humorous and so was the first chapter. But even after that, I doubted more and more. The characters that frantically needed to be quirky and the rampant description of banalities got on my wick quickly. And I know, if I start skipping pages, I better leave a book alone.

Too pretentious for me. 🥱

I was so sure this was on my Litsy-sub, that‘s why I took it home with me from the little free library. Uh, well, turned out I was wrong. Seemingly the title just rang a bell because I stumbled across it out of #LitsyMagic.

Just found out that I confused Mariana Leky with Marina Lewycka who wrote 🇩🇪 „Kurze Geschichte des Traktors auf Ukrainisch“ (🇬🇧 “Caravan”) – which I didn‘t find as amusing as everybody else did.

So, perfect, let‘s start …

A wonderfully weird family history about going into the world only to find suburban bliss at home, big dreams and small comforts ❤️

This book has a very unique writing style. I loved all of the characters in this small village. I also cried a lot.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Yesterday, I took a long walk around the coast of an island not far from us. It was in the morning, so I had the area pretty much for myself. Afterwards, I started reading 📖 Was man von hier aus sehen kann. So far I chocked up a bit, it‘s quite sad.
