Initial thoughts on books I recently finished reading and one that i just started earlier today:
Kazuo Ishiguro's "The Buried Giant". He does have favored themes that I also met in his other books, The Remains of the Day and The Unconsoled. But I think the Buried Giant at least had a whisper of hope in it. Knowing everything and then having the freedom to choose what to do next. We aren't shown what happens next so we have to come to our own conclusions.
'Uprooted' by Naomi Novik. Nebula award winner (best novel). Genre novel (fantasy), and I loved it. So much fun and just a touch of romance (it could have done with more!).
Now reading Bel Canto by Ann Patchett. Ive just started chapter 2. She's able to inject comedy into a horrific situation and im pretty sure I'll enjoy reading this one till the end.
