I might pass on Graceland, although I do like to read the author's columns in the NYT's. Happy Birthday to your DIL.

(But I think the mini-KAL socks are the star! That yarn! Wow!)<br /><br />I finished Marriage Portrait last night and let me just say that while it was not bad, Hamnet was just so much better. Better writing, better story, just better in every way! I think you will enjoy it tremendously.

Thanks for the nudge to get to it. And I agree with other commenters - I think you'll really enjoy Hamnet.

I savoured Hamnet--quite possibly the most beautiful and beautifully written book I have ever read, and that is saying something, coming from me. The way you felt about TMP is exactly the way I felt about Hamnet. <br /><br />I finished (a while ago) The Sweetness of Water; I was meh about it. It felt like it tried to do too much, and so many things weighed down the narrative. It had some places of lovely writing, but the story suffered with too many themes and characters, imo. I could not get engaged very deeply.Nancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17627214346956206283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6923606944837827580.post-83953704081550318862022-11-30T08:57:01.651-05:002022-11-30T08:57:01.651-05:00I'm so glad you enjoyed The Marriage Portrait!...I'm so glad you enjoyed The Marriage Portrait! I loved the ending, which I very much did not expect. Hamnet is really beautiful, though it is sad. But you know why it's sad from the get-go. I thought the Cartographers was a fun read, not great literature but entertaining.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05434256661615289001noreply@blogger.com
