Lois Leveen: Juliett's Nurse

Historical novel set in Verone in the 14th century, a bit of change of perspective in relation to Shakespeare (Rome and Juliett)

Elan Mastai: Die Beste meiner Welten (orig. "All our wrong todays"😉

A time travel novel, which goes really down into some psychological problemes of altering the past. (I still have a considerable part before me)

I finished the book. It becomes better and better towards the end. A real well done philosophical exercise.

I'm going through my books minimizing the number to take with me to my new home. I came across Antonio Tabucchi's 'Pereira Maintains' (1994), an absolute favourite of mine. "Its story follows Pereira, a journalist for the culture column of a small Lisbon newspaper, as he struggles with his conscience and the restrictions of the fascist regime of Antonio Salazar..." , a touching and optimistic story. I may read it again.
