🌟 Fresh Water For Flowers by Valérie Perrin 🌟

Internat [‘Boarding school’; also published in English under the title 'The Orphanage’] by the Ukrainian writer Serhiy Viktorovych Zhadan (Serhij Zadan)

💜 'There' s a moment at the end of every day, where the world falls away and you are left alone with your thoughts. A reckoning. (...)'.

A Bookshop in Algiers by the Algerian writer Kaouther Adimi is a literary feast. This book might be small in size, just under 150 pages, but it is dense with capitavating literally anecdotes related to both Algerian and French titans of literature as well as with many unique perspectives on the history and culture of Algeria throughout the 20th century. This book offers a moving portrayal of Algeria, its capital, Algiers and its inhabitants.

I would like to share with you a lit bit about one of my favourite writers who is almost unknown these days to the anglophone audience. I hope that some of my French followers might have read some of the books by this remarkable author of a profound sensitivity.
