Was haben Arthur Smyth, der im 19. Jahrhundert in London an der Themse geboren wird und in der Gosse aufgewachsen ist, die neunjährige Narin, die im Jahr 2014 mit ihrer Großmutter in einer jesidischen Gemeinde am Tigris lebt, und die junge Hydrologin Dr. Zaleekhah Clarke, die 2018 ein Hausboot auf d...
I'm planning out my 2020 reading challenge(s), and I decided I'm going to read all of Tracy Chevalier's books (the ones I haven't already read). To try and give myself a jump start, I thought I'd give these short stories a read. I started with Tracy Chevalier's and it wasn't bad (not great either, b...
