Easing into 2025.
5. Small Things Like These
— Claire Keegan
A novela that packs quite an emotional punch. My first Claire Keegan. Next up is Antarctica.
9. Pietr the Latvian
— Georges Simenon
I’m typically not a fan of detective stories, although I’ve enjoyed the Detective Galileo stories by Keigo Higashino. The blurb for this one declares Simenon, ‘one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century.’ — perhaps written by someone who has read little besides restaurant menus? This was just about okay enough and short enough to finish, but I doubt I will try another from this prolific author.
