This is a fascinating book! Foot obsession and social interactions - I’m loving this book!

I wish art books didn’t feel the need to go so far back, or that I would embrace my agency to skip to where I want to start. But the front section really bogged me down (just like comprehensive art museums).

I will borrow it again and give it another go. I hope to learn to be a better observer, or at least understand that the many axes along which art can be considered.

Captivating and devastating.

I love Lev Grossman’s writing. His description of becoming an animal or bird were brilliant.

Enjoying! A nice story.

I am perhaps 10 of the way in and I’m already glad that this is part of a trilogy.

This book is a tough read for me but I keep at it. The arrogance to redirect three major rivers for agriculture is shocking and I wonder what it would be like now if this project hadn’t happened.

I am a plant molecular biologist who thinks about agriculture a lot, but didn’t know anything about this history.

Really captivating.

This is an engaging book - it’s easy to read and a page-turner.

This well-paced story brings the reader to Scotland in the past and has interesting characters. The time-travel aspects are forking for me, at least so far.

Engaging so far’
