We're two brown girls reading literary fiction widely. If there's a topic or theme that's been written about , then it's a topic or theme we want to talk about.

Brown Girl Reading 
Some encouragement for you: my mother has read almost all of Rutherford’s books because she likes them so much. I have read one of them (London – a long time ago), and besides the fact that it took a long time to read, I did like it. But we both like historical stuff.
I hope you end up liking it better than you think! The rest of the books look like good picks!

Well thanks for the encouragement Naomi. Normally I would be happy about historical fiction but he seems to be cramming a lot of history in 800+ pages. It’s almost like taking a 72-hour bus trip around Paris and then saying you saw everything. 😂 All in all the book came today and it’s a door stop but I’m going to make an effort.🙄😁😅😂

Glad to have you back! Your garden really is beautiful.
I’ve seen Ferrante all over the internet and bookstores, like you said. But I’m not sure I’d want to read it either.
