I am reading a kind of biography written by Marion Countess Doenhoff.

It is not a typical/classical biography. She writes about different episodes about her childhood in East Prussia. This part of now Poland, belonged to the German Reich up to the end of WWII.

I love his novels too... I'm reading "Un filo di fumo" now which takes place in Vigata in the 1890s.

Yes I saw that Anna reading a book of the same author, and posted about nearly the same time *giggle*

Amo Montalbano / I love Montalbano :)
However those should be read in original (if possible) as they are written in dialect which just can't be translated to English or other languages. I recall reading The Shape of Water in English (as it was easier to find a copy in English in Ireland) and well, still enjoyable, but I miss my dialect. So when I found a few Montalbanos in original I couldn't resist but had to buy a few. (Which will also serve as my comfy reading escape to where I'd want to be)

Now I am in Hamburg 1768... another book of a series of Petra Oelker.
I like her books, a mixture of historical facts and a good story.

It's a good one, Hayes. Doesn't hit the super top of my list (where Ludlum, Connelly, Camilleri and a few others are) but close enough to there. Hm - perhaps I should consider making that a ray or ring and see if it would have success?
