pickAn imaginative tale of a world very different, told in letters. I wasn‘t sure how I‘d get along with the format, and I did find it rather slow going at first. But the mystery of what happened to E. and Henerey drew me in, as their siblings worked to solve their disappearance. The world building is charming and thorough, and the characters appealing and enjoyable to spend time with. I‘ll definitely read the sequel.

“…looking like Gollum curled around her bottle of wine.” This line sent me! 😂🧙♀️🪄🧌
pickCute!!!!!!!! I‘m loving this collection of short stories. Two for two so far ☑️
pickAn epistolary novella about how anti-semitism was raised and Hitler praised in the 1930s in Germany.
Looking for excuses (the poverty in the country in the aftermath of WWI), denying the truth, hiding behind the ambition of the Gentle Leader as they call him, choosing not to see what‘s happening.
It‘s horrible and haunting and feels painfully timely today. How we got to this point again is beyond me.

According to Storygraph, this is my third time reading this book (and it may actually be my fourth), and I enjoyed it just as much as the first time I read it. It is a strange, beautifully poetic, confounding at times read that sticks with you. ⬇️
Dear Scholar Clel,
Instead of reading further, I hope you will return this letter to its envelope or, better yet, crumple it into an abstract shape that might look quite at home on a coral reef.

I don‘t remember the last time I fell so quickly in love with a book. This had my heart after only a few chapters. I loved the characters and the variety of experiences and growth they depict in their letters. Watching them explore new recipes and flavors made my mouth water. Even though I saw many things coming, it didn‘t take away from my emotional connections with our lovely ladies.
