pickThis novel set during the Chechen wars is beautifully heartbreaking. It‘s a book that sticks with you.
Ahmed saves a girl from Russian patrols and brings her to Sonja, the last doctor in a beleaguered wartime hospital. Ahmed trained as a doctor but has no skill. There is a lot of flashing forward and back to complete the characters‘ stories, which is confusing in the #audiobook, however Sonja‘s search for her sister Natasha shone through. ⬇️
Megabooks I wanted to get my hands on a print copy, but they don‘t exist except secondhand and the few I found were very expensive! #AnnisfieldWolfAwardWinner #pop22 @Cinfhen @BarbaraBB @KarenUK @Kalalalatja @4thhouseontheleft @Laughterhp @RaeLovesToRead @Cortg @jenniferw88 @squirrelbrain 3y

Cortg This sounds good and I was curious so I looked and my library system has 6 print copies. I placed a hold but not 100% I‘ll get around to reading it. 3y

Megabooks @BarbaraBB yeah, there are a few books I feel that way about too. I remember the love but not the plot/characters. 3y

The Tsar of Love and Techno: StoriesMegabooks @CBee enjoy! 🤩 3y
BarbaraBB @Megabooks Only a few I think, in your case. You always remember all plots - quite impressive, especially considering the amount of books you read! 3y
Megabooks @BarbaraBB thank you for the vote of confidence, but I don‘t think that‘s always true! And I can NEVER remember characters‘ names. As in I have to look them up to write the review the next day. 😂😂 I did remember Sonja in this book because they discussed the anglicized spelling of her name with a j instead of a y or i. But usually I don‘t remember them at all. 3y
squirrelbrain Ooh, I might give this a go. I can get this one or the story collection on Audible - which would be best do you think? 3y
Megabooks @squirrelbrain I read the story collection years ago and it was brilliant - 5⭐️. This is more 4.5⭐️ so both are excellent. I read the story collection, so I don‘t know about narrators. This narrator was amazing, but the nature of the telling with the frequent time jumps made it hard to follow. So maybe the short stories if you like the narrator. 👍🏻👍🏻 3y
DGRachel I hear you on the space issues. I now have stacks around my house and I have to figure out what to do with them because I literally have no shelf space anymore and nowhere in my house to put more bookcases. 😭😭 3y
