I'm reading Afrodite from the impressive Isabel Allende, a Chilean writer.
That book is about afrodisiac ingredients and recipes, and almost of them are notes telling her experiences, plenty of sensuality, and erotism.

One of her more important books even becomes a movie as The house of the spirits and Of love and shadows.

I loved this uplifting story of a young woman from the Dominican Republic who finds herself through her love of poetry. It‘s YA, but this mature reader felt all the feels for X and her struggles.The themes of questioning religion(Catholicism) and mother/ daughter conflict spoke to me.Thank you Litsy for bringing this to my attention! Thank you #booked2023 for including the prompt #quietyabook.
I listened to the audio which was wonderful!

What can I say about this author? I love all her books. Another powerful story about family, religion, beliefs, cultural traditions, identity, personal growing, forgiveness, love, friendship, brother-sister relation, second opportunities in a concise way, in few pages. I really enjoyed also the audiobook because she is the narrator. My edition has a letter from the author and the book has some annotations also by the author.
❤️4.5⭐️

To close out Uganda for #foodandlit2023, we read A Good Trade and Beatrice‘s Goat. Both books center around the poverty and lack of education in Uganda, and both have white saviors. After reading these books, my daughter and I made paper beads while going on a Google Earth tour of Uganda. My oh my… sooo many churches.

i couldn‘t finish this novel because its a lot to read. i plan on finishing it at another time. nothing against the author, but i can‘t give the author the respect the novel deserves by not giving my full attention to it.
