Anne Bronte moet even in de ijskast want ik kon het boek niet meer verlengen. Deze meegenomen. Vond deel 2 zeer goed dus benieuwd naar deel 1.

Having read Women of Troy by Pat Barker and it's brilliant inversion of perspective it's actually hard to take this retelling seriously. Briseis "saved" by Patroclus and Achilles? Please.
Also, I'm a little bored.

Enjoyable so far but to quote Persuasion (2022) (which I actually quite liked contrary to popular opinion): 'Anne, that's more than enough poetry. You know how I detest metaphor.'

Let's see if it lives up to the hype. Been on my list for a long time but it was always on loan.

I love spy movies but somehow never tried a spy novel.

Read the synopsis in advance which probably spoiled the catharsis but does help to understand the foreshadowing better, for example when Candy's dog is put down. I also knew that this was originally meant to be a play and that is also clear to me now I'm reading it.

Love it so far. I cannot help but compare it to Hemingway's A moveable feast even though the subject is different. It is fascinating to see Paris in the 1920s through a different set of eyes and from an entirely different perspective.

Can't stand the character of Alta.
I like the plot so far.
I would have liked some more world-building and less elaborate descriptions of feelings.
