The Eighth Life
The Eighth Life: (for Brilka) The International Bestseller | Nino Haratischvili
142 posts | 42 read | 6 reading | 97 to read
That night Stasia took an oath, swearing to learn the recipe by heart and destroy the paper. And when she was lying in her bed again, recalling the taste with all her senses, she was sure that this secret recipe could heal wounds, avert catastrophes, and bring people happiness. But she was wrong. At the start of the twentieth century, on the edge of the Russian Empire, a family prospers. It owes its success to a delicious chocolate recipe, passed down the generations with great solemnity and caution. A caution which is justified: this is a recipe for ecstasy that carries a very bitter aftertaste Stasia learns it from her Georgian father and takes it north, following her new husband, Simon, to his posting at the centre of the Russian Revolution in St Petersburg. Stasias is only the first in a symphony of grand but all too often doomed romances that swirl from sweet to sour in this epic tale of the red century. Tumbling down the years, and across vast expanses of longing and loss, generation after generation of this compelling family hears echoes and sees reflections. Great characters and greater relationships come and go and come again; the world shakes, and shakes some more, and the reader rejoices to have found at last one of those glorious old books in which you can live and learn, be lost and found, and make indelible new friends.

5 🌟 My Kobo says I spent 27.4 hours reading this epic masterpiece. Chock full of history and many generations of family saga - it‘s definitely my kind of book!! Gorgeous writing and impeccable translation. It took me just days shy of one month to read it. A worthwhile amount of time spent for sure. Of course now what do I read next??

The Eighth Life by Nino Hararischvili
It's an epic 900+ page tome that I'm trying to read very, very carefully so as not to break the spine. I picked it up at a used book sale, and it doesn't look like it's ever been opened or read.

My first completed read of 2024 is a 5🌟!
Oof, this book! It feels wrong to say I enjoyed 900+ pages about inter-generational trauma but I loved the many hours I spent with the various members of the Jashi family. And though it is a mighty tome, the only thing that slowed me down was trying to bench press it in bed of a night.

It's primarily set in the Caucasus/USSR throughout the 20th Century: you can probably supply your own trigger warnings.

squirrelbrain I loved this too when I read it! 10mo
perfectsinner Reading this now and it's got some beautiful writing in it I picked a good one for my vacation. I'm trying to read it carefully as I don't want to crack the spine, and it looks like it's never even been opened/read. Glad to hear I picked a good one for my vacation 4mo

I‘m having my best reading year yet! This book was amazing! Sometimes, the historical parts lost me a little bit, but I understand this was a needed thread to stitch this story.

I‘m glad I joined a buddy read for this (had never heard about this book before), and the discussions every Sunday have been so enriching.

Please read this! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My pick for February is a no brainer. Though definitely a chunkster, this book was a top read for me this year. The perspective from a life lived in ways so different from my experience was something to ponder for a long time. I highly recommend

I'm always hesitant to claim a book as "one of the best I've ever read", as I've read so many great books, however this book truly deserves the title. What a phenomenal story this has been! A heartwarming and heartbreaking story of Soviet Georgia, from WW1 until the country breaks from the Soviet Union, focused on the impact on one family over many generations. I was absolutely hooked from the very first page. Brilliant!

Way to go, Amy! (Special props for tacking this chunkster in paper. My husband insists that my current 1,000+-page chunkster “doesn't really count“ because I'm reading it on my tablet. In his view, you get all the points for carrying this one around for several months. 🙂 )

Amiable @coffeewithbooks Join us! The hardest part of completing a chunkster is making the decision to pick it up and start it, IMO. Then it's just one page at a time until the end. Just like any other book. :) If the thought of an 800+ page book intimidates you, we are going to change things up a bit for 2023 with graduated tiers -- so you can start smaller and work your way up to the big guys! 3y

#SharreadsReadathon book1
This was a chunskster!! 1000 plus pages, but once it draws you in, you'll be captured. From Stasia to her great granddaughter Niza the story of the generations is told in the setting of the Russian revolution forward. The family lives in Georgia where the family sells sweets using a secret chocolate recipe. As the years pass the son of the chocolatier becomes a high ranking official in the Soviet union. ⬇️

Crazeedi Niza is the narrator and in graphic prose tells the history of her family. This book is a translation and is very well done. Highly recommend!! 3y

This novel is the definition of epic, covering hundreds of years of Georgian history through the lens of a single family. Cruelty, brutality, & much loss, but also love, duty, and a touch of magic. The prose was beautiful; kudos to the translator(s).
And with that, I‘ve completed my #chunksterchallenge2022! Woot!

A 934-page sweeping historical romance on Georgia - the country. It basically covers the 20th century, opening around 1900 and closing around 2003, a pivotal and hopeful year for this place. I‘m not going to rave about this, as I was never carried away, but it‘s nicely written and I enjoyed it all, the vaguer first 2/3 in the Soviet shadow, and all the detail touches in the last 300 pages, especially as the Iron Curtain collapsed.

BarbaraBB Great review. I felt the same. Not raving, entertaining though 3y
Graywacke Thanks. I remember you mentioning that. I think it‘s a book that can really click with the right reader, but it all depends on how they respond to that tone. But I didn‘t fully respond. ☺️ I also think it got better when Nika started on her own life. 3y

Getting my early morning reading in - when i do most of my reading. 15 hours into this one I‘m not quite halfway through (roughly 1958, Soviet Georgia. It started around 1900). It‘s one of four long-ish books I‘ve been reading this month and won‘t finish…which is ok, but also a little strange.

slategreyskies I‘ve been considering reading this one. It looks good, but it‘s such a time commitment. 3y
Graywacke @slategreyskies right, totally understand. It‘s a good fit if you want to zone out in that reading state of mind for a long time. 🙂 I‘m always happy to pick it up. (edited) 3y
BarbaraBB Are you enjoying the book? I know many did but I was never really captured. 3y
Graywacke @BarbaraBB I‘m enjoying. I like spending time with it and I like the overall structure so far. But, I haven‘t been carried away. (And I would like more unique to Georgia, and less sort of widely known “generic”, history and flavor.) 3y
BarbaraBB Yes, I agree about Georgia. I didn‘t learn many new things about it. 3y

I'm on the home stretch of this book - just hit page 800, only 120 left to go! I am honestly just in awe of how much I love this story. You would think a generational story spanning a century could be a bit of a slog, but it's not! I have been entranced, captivated, and utterly engrossed with every single page. Takes place in Georgia (country not state) and has so much interesting history. I'm dreading the end because I don't want it to be over!

Cathythoughts This is all good to hear 👍🏻❤️… I have it & im often tempted.. but it‘s so long 3y

Finished at last! The best thing about this book was its lush, colourful cover. I did not love the content. The writing is quite pacy so I read it to the end - all 934 pages of it - but now I feel slightly grubby. I could have used my reading time on something less... I don‘t know? What‘s the equivalent of ”click-baity” for books?

#Georgia

Cathythoughts Well , it‘s cover is certainly shown off beautifully in your picture 💫… I have it on my shelf… 3y
Liz_M I hadn't thought of it as click-baity, but I get what you're saying. I just found it tiresome that none of the family members had an ordinary life -- every single one suffered some sort of unspeakable tragedy. 3y

This book is amazing! It weaves over 100 years of Georgian history through the lives one extended family. It's full of drama and horrors, of emotions and activism. It is a book that gives you space to learn, to grieve, to reflect and to cry - not tears of sentimentality but ones triggered by human pain. It's full of human energy and Georgian landscapes. It has the smell of peaches and the waft of vodka.. I loved it!
