11. Hello, Enthusiast!

Even though I've read everyone's positive reviews about All the Light We Cannot See, I find myself resisting reading it. I can't explain it, but I simply do not care to read novels set in WWII. I just don't want to "go" there.

I do hope you'll find Burial Rites a worthwhile read. I'm looking forward to hearing what you think of it.

Mrs. Lincoln's Dressmaker sounds very interesting! Excellent summary on Fantastic Fiction - but this part is really sad:

Keckley saved scraps from the dozens of gowns she made for Mrs. Lincoln, eventually piecing together a tribute known as the Mary Todd Lincoln Quilt. She also saved memories, which she fashioned into a book, Behind the Scenes: Thirty Years a Slave and Four Years in the White House. Upon its publication, Keckley's memoir created a scandal that compelled Mary Todd Lincoln to sever all ties with her, but in the decades since, Keckley's story has languished in the archives.

Does the book say anything about what happened to Elizabeth Keckley after that?

Anyway, good to see you here as always. Any thoughts about what you might want to read after you finish Burial Rites?
