An interesting insight into the lives of Korean immigrants into Japan last century. Unique characters, slow paced but an easy read.
Historical fiction which immediately transported me to 16th century France. Great for people who like Phillips Gregory’s books. One I struggled to put down.
Hilariously dark and intriguing, answers questions I’ve never thought of before.
Having grown up on the North Shore, reading a book where I can vividly picture the places and settings was a real trip. A gripping short novel that is so timeless.
Such a fun whimsical book to get lost in for an afternoon. The alternative way of speaking is something I’d like to aspire to in my own vocabulary!
A clever and intriguing novel that blends historical fiction with speculative twists. It follows a secret government department managing time travel, where the past is both a resource and a danger. Tight pacing, with vivid historically accurate details and morally complex characters. Both thought-provoking and entertaining.
Witty, witchy and wickedly humorous!
Absolute classic, I thoroughly enjoyed studying this book in y10, and have thoroughly enjoyed rereading it now as an adult.
Slow paced, emotionally charged and incredibly well written. Straight onto the next one!
