‘River East, River West is at once autobiographical fiction and historical fiction, a Shanghai novel and a novel of the American dream, and a story in which families and countries fall apart, but also have a chance at fresh starts.’

Fascinating-the uncertain route to winner a Booker and the attention a small publisher can give a book that a large house may not be able to… thebookerprizes.com/the-booker-lib…

I'm loving every moment!

Here’s what I read in April - I’m always a month behind!

I pretty much loved all of these. In fact, four of them could be in the running for my 2024 highlights:

- Brookner
- Mortimer
- Drabble
- Enriquez/McDowell

A superb month of reading!

Finished. Absolutely loved this. The repetitions, the assurances, the doublings, the invocations, the psychology of conversion, the psychology of addiction, the love, it is all just so cool. Will change the way I read from now on, the best compliment I could give a book.

A charming event in a glorious setting
Thank you Mumblin' Deaf Ro for your readings and insights, to David Collard for his witty interviewing and to the sadly absent Bluemoose Books
