They were both excellent, linked by the striving of women for a different life, in very different circumstances.


The main character is a jazz musician. In the audio book, I am not sure if it is only offered as an audio book, the songs are performed, making this a mixed media book. I did not end up liking the story, but was impressed with the music being incorporated into the audio book so seamlessly. It added to the whole experience.

Deer - reindeer
Historical fiction about reindeer herding in northern Sweden in 1851. Reads like a classic tragedy. 4 stars
