Friday Finds: Feb. 13


I post all my weekly discoveries on Sundays, but I like to highlight one or two books for this meme. For other Friday Finds, please click on over to Should Be Reading.

A Partisan's Daughter by Louis De Bernieres received an earphone award from AudioFile magazine. "It is . . . a meditation on the search for love in a weary world--graphic, profound, affecting, yet so plainly written and transparently narrated that the characters live and breathe and feel, and persist in memory." Set in late 1970s London.

    Someone recently recommended Louis de Bernières to me. This definitely sounds like a good one.

    My FF post is here.

    I do appreciate your posts on good audio books. I am DEEPLY immersed in the Outlander series on audio, but after 30ish discs per book, I have to have some breathing space between each. I'll look into this one!

    Last week I recommended his other book on my FF "Birds Without Wings". All his books look interesting.
