Two very well written books.

TRUST 1920s power, finance, personal relationships

AFTERLIVES..a young African boy pre WWI. His struggles through colonization, war, and his struggle to read and write and succeed

Thanks! Will add to my (ever-growing) list.

I enjoyed two excellent books on the island and am committed to less surfing and more reading upon return.

Lost Children Archive - Valeria Luiselli

Do No Say We Have Nothing - Madeleine Thien

Will put these on my list.
What am I reading on island? This is Happiness by Niall Williams. Gives new meaning to the word lyrical. Takes place in the 1950s in a small town in Ireland. So witty and wise and exceptionally written. Don’t miss!

I too like see Ireland through Niall Williams’s eyes.
