I read Iron Curtain by #VesnaGoldsworthy. A page-turner set in the 1980s. A young privileged 'red princess' from a poor unnamed central European country elopes to London in the name of love. The sense of displacement has echoes of the Patricia Engel book I read just before this. There's also enjoyable farce here even if the clichés about the UK are laid on a little thick at times. #bookToot#bookstodon#keefsreads
Still struggling to focus on reading. But enjoyed #HarlemShuffle by #ColsonWhitehead. Not sure what it all means but an entertaining insight into the blurred space between straight and criminal life in Harlem in the 1960s. #bookstodon#bookToot#KeefsReads
