This sounds delightful! I agree that most cats wouldn’t adjust in three days though. We adopted one 9 years ago and she is still skittish. 😊😸

Amazing. Goodness, 9 years, you are doing so well....!

I adored this book! I was delighted by the many laugh-out-loud moments and the way everything came together in the end.

SUCH a good premise for a story, isn't it. Glad you love the book!!!!

I’ve never had the pleasure of visiting Venice but I am a fan of Tracy Chevalier’s work. Glass blowing seems a fascinating subject so yet another of your recommendations is added to my list.

One of my top reads (or, should I say, 'listens" this year, for sure!). Hope you enjoy when you get to it!!! And thank you for taking the time to comment!

Thanks, sounds good, and I quite agree with you about mentioning the translator. Enjoy your holiday!

@tripfictionliterarywanderl1800 Ай бұрын

Thank you, will do! It's only right that a translator gets an obvious mention, I feel....

@nonisnest9718 Ай бұрын

You so often talk about books that are unknown to me and I am quite an avid Booktube watcher! May I ask where you find your selections? This one just got added to my massive list!

Oh, how lovely of you to say. Well, publishers/authors will flag novels that are strong on location. Or we add books when we see them - on Social Media or via Newsletters we have signed up to (and the TripFiction community on FB and the usual platforms alert us and we can then add to the database - www.tripfiction.com) We always have an eye out for book with a strong sense of place

How very interesting! I haven’t read a Lianne Moriarty in quite awhile.

@tripfictionliterarywanderl1800 Ай бұрын

It is a very novel concept, really well through through (maybe a tad long and a few too many characters to keep hold of but a good book nevertheless)

@alantrench9301 Ай бұрын

Thank you for your post, I started reading this book but took a break. You’ve prompted me to finish it. 😊

Great review and comments. Thank you. As you indicated might be the case for some readers, I have just bought the novel with the intention of reading it prior to a trip to Berlin (not my first visit) in November. I have subscribed :)

@tripfictionliterarywanderl1800 2 ай бұрын

Oh thank you. That is so supportive.... The Secret Hotel in Berlin by Catherine Hokin might also be a good read for you, either to read beforehand or whilst there 😀 Enjoy your trip!

Really, she does and supremely so in her latest, The Glass Maker which I am sure will be a popular read!

I have not heard of this novel before but it certainly sounds like my kind of story. I have been to Cape Cod many times and even stayed in Sandwich once and it still remains one of my favorite places. I will definitely be adding this book to my wishlist!

Hi, and thank you for the enjoyable review! I'm just reading Mr Wilder and Me (actually the Spanish translation of the book) while recovering from a cold. The story takes me pleasantly to another place, to another time. I do like it a lot.

This book was frightening. Really liked it, but nevertheless was frightened by it. Listened on Audible too, found myself unable to stop it. Always have assumed Stephen Fry was thinking of Vivian Stanshall when he was writing the character called Babe.
