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
Just finished Reward System by #JemCalder. Short stories about young adults navigating their lives in the smartphone era. Not much happens. But the writing is plenty good enough to maintain interest. #BookToot#bookstodon#keefsreads
