Books tweet: I couldn't read A Gentleman in Moscow but the Lincoln Highway (both books by Amor Towles) is slowly pulling me into its magnetic field.

With Victoria Schofield, legendary journalist and commentator. She was Benazir Bhutto's best friend at Oxford and their friendship lasted 44 years. She wrote a memoir of that friendship called The Fragrance of Tears, from the famous verse by Shah Abdul Latif Bhitai. https://t.co/dEOCKklPuF

With my @Wellesley sister @uttarabk, enjoying the flowers at the Baltimore Farmers Market today. She explained to me how the Baltimore Ravens got their name -- from Edgar Allan Poe's first novel! https://t.co/O97KNowfAU

A great review of @ayadakhtar's Homeland Elegies in today's @dawn_com Books and Authors section. This is a wonderful book. Reads interestingly now that Trumpty Dumpty has fallen off his Wall. https://t.co/xDB3rqF9Bz

I watched "The Lost Daughter" on @NetflixFilm last night. What a gem of a movie. Maggie Gyllenhaal has taken Elena Ferrante's source novel and spun something electrifying out of it. Ambiguious wife- and motherhood has never been done better.
