The computer is finally working again so it's time for another update on our list of books read for the Portuguese Historical Fiction Challenge. I haven't posted my review yet because I lost it when the computer crashed (along with a few others) and I have to devote some time to write those again.
I'm really enjoying seeing the list of entries grow and I have been writing down the titles that I want to try. There are a lot of books that I hadn't heard of before and the reviews make them sound really interesting.

If you want to join the challenge and/or add any reviews you can find the details here. Looking forward to see what other books will be joining these on my next update.
From that list the only one I've read was the one by Saramago, and I liked it much. Wonderful irony there.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you should grab another of his books and join us in this challenge.
DeleteI just received Alem Tejo in the mail. I read the review (mentioned above) and just couldn't resist a book inspired by Pride and Prejudice and North and South.
