Maryana
Maryana is starting
Dr Weiss, at forty, knew that her life had been ruined by literature.

What an opener! After struggling to engage with my last few reads, this feels like stepping into clear air again. Literature may ruin us, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Glad to hear you agree, Meike! There’s no other way I’d want to be undone 📚

That’s lovely to hear, thank you, Ebba! I remember your admiration for Brookner. This is only my second book of hers, and already I want to read everything she wrote.
