“A Lost Lady” by Willa Cather

Kazuro Ishiguro

I have three of his books on my to-read list, including the one you read as well as “The Buried Giant” and “Never Let Me Go”. Heard a podcast with a writer (can’t remember her name!) who recommended him. She also recommended “The Dream Life of Sukhanov” by Olga Grushin and poetry collection “Duino Elegies” by Rainer Maria Rilke.

I used to have a collection of Rilke poetry when I was a teenager and I really loved it. You might like his work.

Having fun briefly with Sherlock and Watson, reading Hound of the Baskervilles. Surprisingly engaging, light, short. Working a treat as an evening off-switch.

Probably why his work has been dramatized so many times. I have his collected works on my e-reader for an occasional read.

Just finished my first book of the year. I read incredibly slowly, a combo of dyslexia and shocking concentration. So it feels like an achievement!
