I don't read much non-fiction but am making my way through Kate Moore's: The Woman They Could Not Silence. At 532 pages, it is much longer than my usual fare but compelling. It is also one you can put down and come back to which is useful. I am also reading Cool Water by Dianne Warren, winner of the Governor General's (of Canada) prize some years back. It is a very "quiet" novel but so resonant.
As usual, your mix of reading and baking is piquant, Marg. After Passover, I think some focaccia would be delightful, accompanied by a good book. I’ve gone a bit dark in my reading lately, picking up “Mrs. Dalloway,” by Virginia Woolf, which I find challenging and sad, but right for my mood. (Makes you want to attempt a bit of stream of consciousness writing yourself, though few could match Virginia!) Love those chocolate marsupials!
Good point Marg, I thought about this myself lately, how to read more widely and embrace topics and styles that I'm not familiar with or naturally drawn to. The classics are always a good idea! (Happy Easter!)
