Four Seasons in Rome: On Twins, Insomnia, and the Biggest Funeral in the History of the World -- by Anthony Doerr

拿起這本書是因為作者Anthony Doerr , 在讀完他的All the light we cannot see以後,我就被他文風迷住了。

這是作者兩口子帶著兩個剛出生的雙胞胎娃,在羅馬旅居一年的經曆。 Doerr 一如既往的用散文一樣的文字,詩意抒情又生動的描述他們旅居在厚重羅馬文化裏麵滿地雞毛的日子. 小人物的struggle,在語言不通的外國生活的挑戰和笑話。每天在街上遇到的人,教皇的葬禮,初為父母的挑戰,都被Doerr生動又真實的在羅馬的四季裏麵描述下來。

實際上他住羅馬這一年正在創作All the light we cannot see,所有文字和風格可以看到All the light 的影子。

 

  • The Stranger in the Woods: The Extraordinary Story of the Last True Hermit

at 1/4 of it, don't like this book.  I am not going to finish it. -- 8/9/2019

The sleeping Dictionary

The story sets in 1930's India, follows a Bengali girl from the age of 10 through 27.  From Pom to Kamala, she survived and evolved; from Kharagpur to Calcutta, she moved from different cities to different identity; witness her resilience, along with the resilient independent movement of India. 

A fascinating story to read. - Finished by 8/20/2019
