Jetzt muss ich nur noch #DieMachtDerUmstände lesen, damit ich die literarischen Bezüge auf Maugham für diesen Roman vollends kenne. Lest es!#TheHouseOfDoors #TheLetter #TheCasuarinaTree #BookSky #GermanBookSky #Literature #Books #Literatur #Bücher

This historical novel is set in the 1920s British colony of the Federated Malay States. I enjoyed what #TanTwanEng has done in embedding careful attention to the historical environment and cultural complexities of the time through great storytelling.

For someone who is nuts about Somerset Maugham (me), THE HOUSE OF DOORS by Tan Twan Eng was the perfect book to read last week. Loved it. #amreading #books #TheHouseOfDoors

Two Chinese flavoured novels I have enjoyed recently to mark #LunarNewYear - #TheHouseOfDoors (based in Penang) and #Yellowface
Very different books but both engrossing, great reads
