A very tardy Book Post — the books I read in July, before I left for Rome (which we’ve now left for London, where we’re pivoting for Somewhere Else).

May Reading, 2024

My May reading: Mystery, Literary Fiction (American women in 1960s Vietnam; Vietnamese refugees in late 70s; a marriage foundering during an ex-pat year in Brazil; dystopia in Dublin); Ruth Reichl memoir. It’s all here — maybe you’ll find something you’ll want to read as well. . .

Perhaps you’ll find your next book here? Click through to peruse. . .
