Kindle Audiobook: A River in Darkness, Masaji Ishikawa


So interesting to learn more about North Korea / Japan / China relationships.

Hectic memoir of Masaji Ishikawa. He and his family relocated from Japan to North Korea under false pretences in the 50/60's. The struggles that they went through is horrendous. Very sad.

Books Libby Audiobook: Idol, Louise O'Neill

 


Meh. Absolute load of nonsense. Found the main character incredibly grating.

Libby: Ikarus, Deon Meyer

 


Part of the Bennie Grissel series. In this one, Bennie falls off the wagon :/

It is also about wine farmers and illegal bottling in Stellenbosch and, an app that helps create alibis for people who cheat.

Kindle: Lion Women of Tehran, Marjan Kamali


Quite a sad book. We meet Elaheh and Homa who become close friends from a young age and their journey through life. Interesting to learn more about Iran and its history.
