I’m looking forward to Sonia & Sunny because I loved the author’s last novel, and I’ve read it’s a masterpiece!

It’s a satire staring an asexual malacologist in modern day Ukraine who is trying to save snail species on the brink of extinction amidst the war, which she funds by being part of the “romance tour” trade where foreigners take guided tours of Ukraine in hopes of finding docile brides. It’s spot on!

This one wasn’t my cup of tea. The characters were all so unlikeable!

I loved the philosophical conversations she had with locals! It wasn’t a page turner, more if a slow paced, thought-providing novel, but it is one of my favourites on the Booker long-list this year.

Not me but looking forward to hearing you speak in Melbourne! 👏

🤣

But you posted about it, raising voices so 👏

I’ll be at the final leg marching to Parliament House!

Love it!!
