I am reading this Other Eden by Pau Harding. It is based on a true story of an island in Maine where an enslaved man brought his is Irish wife to live a free life and create an orchard. The lives of their descendants during a time of science and race on a path of colliding. I’ve not completed reading this. It’s not a book to race through. It likely will be an immeasurable read. I’m taking my time with this one and appreciating the writing, the history and the art description. The author will be interviewed in a few weeks on PBS and I am so looking forward to it.

Oh yes! I heard about this one, based on Malaga island. Looks fascinating and if I’m correct, a shorter read! (I’ve been reading some very long books lately!!!)

I'm reading Girl, Woman, Other by Bernardine Evaristo. It's a very sensitively written and funny book about a very unfamiliar to me world.

I can't wait to read this one! It won so many awards last year.
