While Count Alexander Rostov, the protagonist of this charming novel, is forced to live a confined life —a political house arrest in a hotel in Mo...scow, 1922—you will surely discover joy and fulfillment can still be found within the walls by the time you finish this novel. "There’s fantastical romance, politics, espionage, parenthood and poetry...technically historical fiction, but you would be just as accurate calling it a thriller or a love story."--Bill Gates *The Yellow Bird Sings by Jennifer Rosner*
In this brilliant debut novel, where Room meets WWII, Roza and her five-year-old daughter Shira must hide in a Nazi-occupied Poland. But music pulses through little Shira whose talent might cost them their lives if she even makes a sound. To comfort her, Roza tells her a story about a yellow bird that sings without making a sound. Set in a single barn where the characters hides day in and out, this is a story that inspires us that hope and imagination persist even in the darkest and most limiting of times. *Wild by Cheryl Strayed*
Cheryl Strayed's 1000-mile pilgrimage alone across the Pacific Crest Trail in the wake of her mother's death and a failing marriage has inspired millions since Wild was published in 2012. If you are among those who haven't read it yet, let her beautiful and personal writing takes you on this epic and transformative journey at the comfort of your own home. *Station Eleven by Emily St. Mandel*
This gem of a novel about a "Georgia Flu" that wipes out the majority of human population and changes civilization forever has bewitched many before we heard anything about Covid-19. Dive into this beautiful and strange world that also celebrates art, Shakespeare, comic books—among many other things that make us human. #bookazinehk #bookrecommendations #bookworms #stayathome #bookswelove #hkreading 展开
