#UncannyOctober #day12 #SetInEasternEurope This novel is set in the Wallachia of Prince Dracul & his court. It tells the story not of him though, but of his children, Radu, who is handsome & gentle, & Lada who was born kicking & screaming and stays that way. Growing up in Wallachia, she's the fierce fighter to Radu's kind diplomat. When they're ransomed to the Ottoman Empire, Lada vows to win her freedom & take the rule of Wallachia for herself.
#SetInEasternEurope #UncannyOctober Like so many memoirs focusing on the Holocaust, this book will make you cry. So keep tissues nearby.
#SetinEasternEurope #Uncannyoctober I want to read it before the new movie comes out. I can't wait to see Kenneth Brannagh as Poirot 😄
Another book I haven't read! 😢These challenges are a harsh reminder of all the lovely books I've owned for years and not gotten around to reading. I'm sure y'all can feel my pain. #uncannyoctober #setineasterneurope #hallowedgrounds #hallowreads
Dresden counts as Eastern Europe, right? I'm sorely lacking in books about the eastern parts of the continent. 😅😣🌍 #setineasterneurope #uncannyoctober
Day 12: #setineasterneurope
I haven't read this one yet. Shocking, I know! Rereading the description made me want to plop down and start. I've got a few library books, Bradbury books, and an unread book club pick that are not gonna let this one jump the line though.

Many years since I read this book but did love it at the time, giving you the history of Poland over eight centuries through the story of 3 families. #SetInEasternEurope #uncannyOctober
#setineasterneurope #uncannyoctober Still on my TBR.I love the cover art ,it was used on the first edition published in Poland in 1937.And the artist?Bruno Schulz.John Updike blurb says the novel includes “some of the truest and funniest satire in print.”Why the publication of this edition was a big deal is previously it was translated from Polish to other European languages then into English.The translator ,Danuta Borchardt,was born in Poland.
