Sarah Winman’s ‘A Year of Marvellous Ways’ has to be one of the most beautiful books I’ve ever read. Oh, my heart! However it now will encourage me to read another historical fiction, perhaps months later. Absolutely sublime.

I rate it 3. I have a question though, what happened to her mum? The pace is a little slow for me; perhaps it coincided with my children being unwell, many a night I couldn’t read as exhausted from work and child care.
I stopped many a times to gather thoughts of what I read, as I imagined the setting, I enjoyed it then. I stumbled through a lot of the book to be honest, perhaps I’m not used to the language that this book was written in, old style English language to set the scene. This is a book full of First’s for me, chosen as the book to read by the book club I belonged to.
1st of Sarah Winman’s that I’ve read, 1st from Historical Fiction Genre, started on 1st of this month etc. Let me know if you do.
After all, the stories I heard from this era was told by my own granddad when I was a young girl on the other side of the globe (Malaysia). 75. I don’t understand that bit.
If this wasn’t a book club book, I probably wouldn’t have picked it up myself.
