She begins to fall in love with Taiwanese food, the local culture & with her interpreter as well. A novel full of food, friendship, language & colonialism. This book was so enjoyable. One of my faves so far. #InternationalBooker2026 @thebookerprizes.com

Just finished this haunting novel about a group of women in 17th century Denmark accused of witchcraft. Based on real-life witch trials, this story of persecution, brutality & power is told through the eyes of a wax doll created by one of the women. #InternationalBooker2026 @thebookerprizes.com
