After Sappho: A Novel | Selby Wynn Schwartz

#bookmail number 1

I was only reading about this yesterday as there‘s some #bookerchatter around it, so I was rather surprised when it turned up today!

I have a subscription to #galleybeggarbooks which has turned out to be wonderful so far. The books are signed and always include a bookmark and, this time, some postcards.

This book sounds fascinating - a re imagination of the lives of a number of feminists at the turn of the 20th century.

AnneCecilie This book is on my wishlist. It sounds so interesting. 2y
BarbaraBB And now it‘s nominated for the Booker prize! You‘re so on par 😉😘 2y

The Slowworm's Song | Andrew Miller

Pickpick

Stephen is an ex-soldier and recovering alcoholic who has just begun to build a relationship with his adult daughter, when a letter drops onto his mat. He has been summoned to speak to an inquiry about his time patrolling in Northern Ireland, and specifically about an incident that has caused his life to be the way that it is.

There is a lot of #bookerchatter around this, and I can see why. It‘s slow and sad, but beautiful in its own way.
