5 Stars • "The Armour of Light" by Ken Follett is the fifth installment in the Kingsbridge series. Set in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, the novel explores a time of significant societal upheaval and transformation in England. The story follows Sally Clitheroe, who faces personal tragedy amidst a backdrop of industrial change, social unrest, and the Napoleonic Wars. ⬇️

Pour moi, la lecture passe la plupart du temps par un moment de détente confortable, et ça ne peut se faire sans la jetée douillette et chaude qui m'accompagne depuis plus de 15 ans. Ajoutez à cela un décor ambiant ponctué d'accessoires immersifs visant à émuler le passé, et le salon se présente alors comme la meilleure alternative pour lire “Le Médecin d'Ispahan“!

Yes it was an epic masterpiece but it was also just a bit too much. There is only so much cruelty I can take with the racism, classism, feudal systems of oppression, religious oppression, treatment of women, and the brutality of the Inquisition. It‘s an amazing read but I was racing just to get it over with.

Two young English women embark on an adventure to #NewZealand in the late 19th century to marry unknown men. Both surprised by their partners, who turn out to be bitter enemies. Yet the women find a way to stay in touch and we follow their lives, that of their children, as well as orphan girls sent on the same boat to work in this strange place on the edge of the world, with the ever mysterious Māori playing an important part of the plot. ⬇️

I‘m not fond of the narrator so I‘m not sure whether I‘ll make it through the book. But I‘ve started this audiobook for #NewZealand for #foodandlit and #readingoceania
