The Book of Lost Names

Apr 25, 2025 Maria

In a world so chaotic, "The Book of Lost Names" by Kristin Harmel reminded me of how much we can control our own destinies.

The Other Bennet Sister

Jul 19, 2024 Maria

Thanks to "The Other Bennet Sister", Mary now has a proper background, helping us empathise with her. She is the most unlikely heroine, yet, she manages to become perfectly lovable.

If you're intrigued by Russian history, if Russian novels give you goosebumps or if you love historical fiction in general, you'll love "The Last Russian Doll".

The Woman in Me

Nov 5, 2023 Maria

This book was astounding in its revelations. I had no idea a powerful woman, an obscenely rich woman can be made to endure so much. It seems unfair to go through all she went through and to this day, she continues to get judged for what she does.

The Town with Acacia Trees

Sep 9, 2023Sep 5, 2023 Maria

This is another good read from the Romanian author Mihail Sebastian, but "The Town with Acacia Trees" has one failure. It is the only thing that didn't make it live up to "The Accident", which I loved!

Sep 2, 2023Oct 2, 2023 Maria

If you want a great read this weekend, definitely try "The Accident" by Mihail Sebastian. I was enraptured by the writing and still dreaming about the main characters.
