Christmas books so far: loved Act of Oblivion by Robert Harris, though it's a heavy-duty story full of sadness; fairly meh about The Employees by Olga Ravn - couldn't really feel any warmth for the human and cyber characters; loving Booth by Karen Joy Fowler so far, with its 19th-century politicohippie family @bookstodon #Booth #KarenJoyFowler #TheEmployees #OlgaRavn #ActOfOblivion #RobertHarris

Boekentip! Prachtige roman over de moordenaar van Lincoln, maar vooral een meeslepend portret van zijn familie: #Booth van #karenjoyfowler.
