Mood writing. Written in very descriptive sentences, but structure is stanza-like (author is a poet). Struggling to get through narrative due to relentless focus on obscure characters, with new details popping up at end of each chapter ...sort of bread crumb-like.

Barb is 40% done with The Bookseller (Hugo Marston, #1)
Interesting detective, lots of good Parisian description. Predictable love item with too rich relatives which is cloyingly obvious.

Good read. I like the detective and Quebec setting. Intriguing and believable.

Great read! Intrigue around Bach's lost cantata, Berlin pre and post war, modern day American forensic tools, plus romance!

Super book! Great sensitive insights in the nasty lives of four young East Indians as they leave impossible situations to make a new life in London. I'll never look at an immigrant the same way again.

This book would not be for everyone: narrated by a parrot and with lots of Hebrew words, but it is fun and everyone will get the Columbus connection. Strong undercurrents of Jewish persecution and underdog sensitivities. Waiting to see how that will be resolved or if book is just a romp.
