AGREE! I was at work, on my lunch break, wiping back tears. If i was at home I would have been sobbingI read this a while ago and am haunted by Sam. I wanted him so badly to see her grow up. The ending had me in tears. Such a brilliant book.
Have you read Trevor Noah’s autobiography ‘Born a Crime’? I’m not a fan of autobiographies but it’s a brilliant book about growing up in SA during apartheid.I recently visited South Africa and felt I needed to read more on apartheid. I finished a lovely book from a child’s perspective ‘Hum if you don’t know the words’ which I highly recommend
Will check it out thank youHave you read Trevor Noah’s autobiography ‘Born a Crime’? I’m not a fan of autobiographies but it’s a brilliant book about growing up in SA during apartheid.
love hearing people read The Appeal. Its been one of my fav books that I have read this year. It’s definitely not my usual kind of book but i really enjoyed it. Hope you do too. Let us know how you get on!I’ve abandoned Britt Marie (sorry @Caffeine Fiend ) but it was just too much of more of the same twee after “my grandmother sends…”and it wasn’t doing it for me.
I’ve taken a leap into the unknown and started the appeal after seeing all the rave reviews here. Not my usual thing but I’m trying to broaden horizons!
I've been like this too. I hoped I'd have finished The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by now (had a snow day yesterday) but I still have a few chapters to go.The last few days I’ve been too tired to read after work and it’s making me so sad. It’s like I’m addicted to it and need to read every day haha. I have a few things on this weekend but hoping to be able to squeeze in some reading time.
I listened to it on Audible and I definitely think it helped. Its the least favourite Backman I have read but Britt Marie is fab and I actually did that before my grandmotherI’ve abandoned Britt Marie (sorry @Caffeine Fiend ) but it was just too much of more of the same twee after “my grandmother sends…”and it wasn’t doing it for me.
