I also really enjoyed Jessie Burton’s sequel to the Miniaturist, “The House of Fortune”. A compelling family drama reflecting the racial prejudices and social mores of the 17th century Dutch republic https://t.co/ezeTwYvXuz

I learned to cook long before this but the first cookbook I actually owned was Mamushka by @Olia_Hercules ! I ended up with two copies because two different people had the same gift idea for me at the time 🇺🇦💙💛 https://t.co/XxioahVFMf

‘The Horde’ by Marie Favereau has profound ramifications for our understanding of European and Eurasian history. It’s a dense (& sometimes dry) but very worthwhile read. Thanks @MicheleBerdy for letting me review this fascinating book for @MoscowTimes 📚 https://t.co/vA00VhZf8L
