I hope some group members discover her this year. So glad you added this thread, Kall.

Yes. I plan to read her The Ten Thousand Things. It is already on my shelves thanks to your recommendation.

I plan on reading her as well. I found an old copy among my grandmother's books last year of The Ten Thousand Things that I rescued, so I've been looking forward to it (but it has not felt like the right moment yet).

I did not realise joining this group was going to open up the flood gates. I'm trying to figure out which authors and books to prioritise. This sounds very good...

It's excellent, Jonathan. Highly recommended.

Anybody else for The Ten Thousand Things?..

This is certainly on my list for 2015.

I discovered and read it a couple of years ago. Loved it. It a beautiful story to savour. It stays with you.
