🍽️📖BOOK REVIEW📖🍽️
🤗Thank you so much @vikingbooks for the gifted book!
📖Title: Table for Two
✍️Author: Amor Towles
📅Pub date: April 2, 2024
🍽️This is the third Amor Towles book that I’ve read and he always surprises in the best way. I’m very picky about historical fiction and even pickier about short stories and somehow these historical fiction short stories really worked for me!
📖Amor’s writing is rich and deep and every time I read him I can’t help but think I’m reading a Charles Dickens book; they all feel like an instant classic.
🍽️The first half of the book is broken into 6 short stories called:
📖The Line
📖The Ballad of Timothy Touchett
📖Hasta Luego
📖I Will Survive
📖The Bootlegger
📖The DiDomineco Fragment
🍽️And the second half of the book is a novella called EVE IN HOLLYWOOD!
📖Of all the short stories my favorite was HASTA LUEGO with THE BOOTLEGGER as a close second.
🍽️Both of those two short stories caught my attention instantly and made me feel connected to the unforgettable characters. Even when they made some not so great choices, I couldn’t help but find myself sympathizing with them.
📖Since these stories are all so unique, I would expect everyone to have a different favorite, which makes it so fun! This would be a great idea for a bookclub pick or to read with a friend and break up into individual stories as starting/stopping points.
🍽️I can’t wait to see/read what Amor Towles comes up with next!
❓How was your weekend? Read anything good?
