📚 "Rock Paper Scissors" by Alice Feeney

An interesting read.
Nothing overly "wow" 🤷🏼‍♀️

I wouldn’t really call it a thriller…
Sure, it has that mysterious vibe: winter, an isolated setting, a snowstorm, unspoken tensions between the characters that leave more questions than answers… but a thriller?🤔

Maybe I’m too demanding, but for me a thriller is like a horror movie — only the horrors are real, not fantastical.
And here? No horrors, no real "chills-down-your-spine" moments 🤷🏼‍♀️
A family drama? Absolutely.

The story is told from both characters, switching back and forth.
This let the author build a more or less balanced perspective of each of them.

At the same time (!) I felt like a family therapist listening to two versions of one shared life. Because of that, I didn’t really take anyone’s side — but it made everything even more intriguing 😆😆

And honestly, the author twisted things so well that after the big reveal (if you know — you know😉), I just wanted to put the book down and mentally reread everything from the beginning, but from a totally different angle 🤪

The resolution is great 👍 — there were a few moments I even flipped back to reread once I finally understood what was what 😯

But the overall ending of their story?
Not sure...
If you think about one of the characters (no spoilers!) — staying with someone and pushing everything that happened somewhere deep inside… well, I don’t know... Happy for them — but not truly happy 😁

Have you read this one?
What did you think?

If not — did this review spark your curiosity?

Have you tried this "knitted" trend yet? 🤩

We decided to play with it a little 😇 and turned a few of our favourite Provençal towns and villages into these woven-style images 🧶

They look different now — softer, almost tactile — but still recognizable if you know Provence well 😉

Think you can guess them all?🤔

Drop your guesses in the comments - can't wait to see what you come up with! 😉👇👇👇

📚 The Four Winds - 🙌

A novel set during the Great Depression in the United States: hunger, mass unemployment, despair, and hopelessness.

I (unsurprisingly) knew absolutely nothing about that period in American history. While reading, I kept googling - I even started with a map because I wanted to see exactly where the states mentioned in the book were…🔎
The research the author did for this story is impeccable, really: just next-level, bravo! 👏

It's simply incredible how, from such a difficult and dramatic subject, the author managed to create a novel you just can't put down 🫶

This book is about struggle and sacrifice, about injustice, about a mother's love (which can be just AS strong - whether by blood or not), about loyalty and courage.
It’s about resilience and hope.
And, above all, it's about humanity - even when everything seems lost 💔

Sometimes (in general) I get sentimental and shed a tear while reading drama-books...
Here - I cried my eyes out, more than once 😪😭😭

And yet, despite all the drama and my heart being torn to shreds, this book somehow lifts you up 🙌
This book is a reminder that even the darkest times pass - but love, family, and land you care about - stay with you forever 🫶

This is the kind of book you want to recommend carefully, because your heart is already trembling just thinking about someone not loving it 🫣

So I'll definitely recommend it (carefully) - and carry it with me for a long time to come 🙏

🩶 thanks to - I am already looking for your other books 😇
