I read less (and more lightly) in October, thanks to all the travel. A few mysteries, a French novel, and an Italian one (the latter is very good and has been translated into English, recommended).

A musician’s memoir, a mystery in English (set in England); a mystery in Italian (set in Italy); a novel about women’s lives across the classes in India, and two wonderful debut novels set, respectively, in contemporary London and in Paris, France and Nablus Palestine during the first half of the 20th century. I hope you’ll find something to read among these titles, and perhaps add your own suggestions to the ensuing conversation.
