Homegoingby

Tough book, like all the ones that deal with slavery. The setting are vividly described and I learn so much by reading this story. The author can clear convey many things with her writing, history, personal stories, social and historical issues. She really did something remarkable by writing this.

Chronicle of a Death Foretold

Wrote a review for

Undecided between 3 and 4 stars. I'm going with 4 stars and kneel humbly in front of the great Gabriel García Márquez.

This is a small story with a short timeline. The Spanish is amazing and the city and the people are described so vividly and intensely that I really felt like I was in a movie. He could write about anything and be mesmerizing.

A Memory Called Empire

Wrote a review for

There is a lot if inventiveness in the infrastructure of the story, that makes the read entertaining. In the end, though, there is also some tiredness and the usual empires and noble people doing political things. I think the world literature has enough space empires, so I'm not going to read the sequel.
