sarahbarnes I‘ve just recently added Gallant to my list! 3w
merelybookish @sarahbarnes I've never read her and it seems like I should have by now! 3w
sarahbarnes Same! 3w
JuniperWilde Absolutely! 🇨🇦✊🏻🇨🇦 3w
JuniperWilde It‘s amazing tho. I went to the bookstore last week and by my guess 90% of the books are by US authors. That‘s got to change. 3w
JuniperWilde I‘m all for great books by authors from anywhere. And let‘s have more Cdn writers on our bookshelves. Do you have a too five Cdn books you‘ve read recently? 3w
merelybookish @JuniperWilde I don't read that much Canadian and I'd like to change that. The last CDN book I read was Held by Anne Michaels which I didn't like. But I'd recommend the tagged book. Also recommend following @lindy if you don't already as she reads and reviews a lot of Canlit 3w
Lindy @JuniperWilde @merelybookish Gallant‘s Paris Stories are fab. I see Nancy Huston and Tanya Tagaq on Margot‘s stack too. 👍 Here‘s a few more Canadian authors I enjoy: Helen Humphreys, Emma Donoghue, Marian Toews, Vivek Shraya, Kim Thuy and Leanne Betasamosake Simpson. 3w
merelybookish @Lindy Thanks! Some new ones to add to my list. 3w

I loved this book. Section 1 is about Anna and David and their new neighbor. Section 2 is about Florence and Henry who lived in the very same apartment 50 years earlier. And section 3 returns to the original characters. I felt immersed in the world of the Paris neighborhood that they live in, the building, the constant of the scaffolding as the building is refaced, their relationships and loves. Read the rest in the comments below! ⬇️

Lesliereadsalot So much that when Anna is walking through the streets near the end of the book, and she is listening to Night in the City by Joni Mitchell, I myself felt compelled to play this song alongside of her. And believe me, that has NEVER happened to me! 1mo
Lesliereadsalot @sarahbarnes Thanks for recommending! 1mo
BarbaraBB Yes! I enjoyed this one a lot too! 1mo

This is another remarkable novel by Pam Jenoff. It was engrossing and fast-paced. Stories about WWII are always incredibly sad and astonishing. Pam crafted characters full of strength and determination to confront the challenges of war while also unraveling mysteries that ultimately reinforce the power of hope and love.

Preordered this one! I could have sworn the sprayed edges were supposed to be colorful and it looks a little lackluster in person, but I‘m excited to see what the story is like inside. I love Pam Jenoff‘s writing!
