Beartown: A Novel | Fredrik Backman
Pickpick

Interesting book

Lola Interesting blurb...#onmylist 7y
giveitupforlentmom @Lola I'm not sure if I liked it 7y
Lola @giveitupforlentmom I've read all of his others, and still not sure how I feel about this author. I really liked (but didn't love) Ove and preferred Grandmother (which I did like but less than Ove) to Britt Marie. I liked his recent novella also. I've heard that Beartown is a major departure from his others-i.e. more serious, less whimsical. 7y
giveitupforlentmom @Lola yes totally not his norm. That wasn't an issue for me, the way it ended was not ok to me. 7y
Dineanddish I've only loved Ove of his...everything else I've read has been meh. 7y

Among the Living | Jonathan Rabb
post image

Set in 1947. A Czech Holicaust survivor ends up in Savannah, GA, living w/ American cousins. A story of contrasts, of fitting in, of facing hard truths, of prejudice. Different ways of being Jewish. "Yitzhak Goldah pressed his sallow brow to the glass and stared out at the slowing platform. It was late summer and he felt the beads of sweat gather like warm rain on his skin." #OnMyList #FirstLines #JewLit
