My 'library loot' this week is Helen Dunmore's 'Talking to the Dead'. I havn't started it yet as I have been preparing for an interview, but it has been staring at me all day and I think I'm just going to have to give up on what I'm doing and get started on the novel instead!
I love Helen Dunmore's novels, her writing is quite remarkable. She has a gift for drawing the reader in that I really love: the layers of her novels are unwrapped slowly depite rapid reading. (another reason why I havn't started yet: because of the inevitability of not being able to put it down!). I only hope it lives up to my own hype!
If you havn't read any Dunmore before ~ I urge you to!
Library Loot is a weekly event co-hosted by Eva and Marg that encourages bloggers to share the books they’ve checked out from the library. If you’d like to participate, just write up your post-feel free to steal the button-and link it using the Mr. Linky any time during the week. And of course check out what other participants are getting from their libraries.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad to find out that Dunmore's book are good. I've acquired three of hers through Swapping and am looking forward to reading them. I can't wait to hear what you think of this one. I also have Mourning Ruby and The Siege. Enjoy your loot. I had a great month of library reading. My post is up. Enjoy your loot.
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of this author. I'll have to check them out.
ReplyDeleteHelen Dunmore is new to me too. I'll have to check if my library has any of hers.
ReplyDeleteHappy reading!
I read The Siege a while ago because I am always on the lookout for good books set in Leningrad during The Siege. I borrowed Counting the Stars a few time, but never actually managed to read it!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your loot.
