White Nights by Urszula Honek White Nights by Urszula Honek translated by Kate Webster (MTO), Poland/Polish


Marina Sofia (marina_sofia) | 14 comments I actually liked this one a lot, although not sure the non-chronological structure adds that much to the book. Reminded me of Seethaler's The Field and Osebol by Marit Kapla.


Yahaira (bitterpurl) | 270 comments finally a book I enjoyed


Paul Fulcher (fulcherkim) | 13401 comments I really liked this as well.

In terms of the non-chronological structure - it would have been a different book, or at least a different read, if chronological and with a cast list. As the reader has to piece quite a bit together. Different - but whether better or worse ...


Yahaira (bitterpurl) | 270 comments I liked the odd feeling the non-chronological style gave this. Sometimes I had a hard time remembering who it was or how something happened in another pov, which made it fun to go back and compare.

Rachel | 356 comments I have high (relative to this list) hopes for this one but still waiting for it to arrive in the mail.
