Home is a name, a word, it is a strong one; stronger than magician ever spoke, or spirit answered to, in strongest conjuration.

pickI didn't know that Japan controlled Korea for 35 years and the ramifications for the Koreans living inside and outside of Japan of which still exist.
I knew very little about the history and relationship between these two countries and I learnt so much reading this and it's tie in with Germany and WW2 really expanded what knowledge I did have.
Within these pages we travel from Korea to Japan through four generations of the same family.
pick5th book read from Women‘s Prize fiction long list. Mixed feelings, again🤷🏽♀️Maybe my expectations have been too high because they are books nominated for a prize. A HF based on true events and also based on previous
short stories. Maybe that it‘s why I felt disconnected in some parts.
The narrator in this story is working in a new project at her job, a nursing home in Korea. She will help the residents to write their own obituary⬇️
Once the movie crosses the 3 million mark, the production company will say something like, this movie has captivated more than 4 million viewers. And people will say, “Ooh I heard this film has attracted more than 4 million viewers already, shall we watch it too?“
so-soI found the chapters in this novel all to be separately interesting stories but they didn‘t really hang together as a coherent whole for me and by the end it felt a bit like we were running over similar ground and the pacing was a little uneven. A vision that has potential but for this reader was not fully realised.

🌼I live in what they call garden apartment which means I live in a hole😳😂the last apartment in a five story building. I have a small patio but in front of my living room (glass sliding door) I only see the balcony, part of my small patio, wood fence & some trees behind the fence🤷🏽♀️but I love this privacy🙌
🌼Caribbean Puerto Rico 🇵🇷Today was a rainy day, less hot than usual, 84 degree 84% humidity 😳
pickAnother finish from the Women‘s Prize longlist. I started in print and switched to audio when it was due back to the library. It was probably not the best choice as the non chronological telling of the Trickster‘s story was harder to follow and I found my mind wandering quite a bit. Another low pick.
