  2. Christmas books so far: loved Act of Oblivion by Robert Harris, though it's a heavy-duty story full of sadness; fairly meh about The Employees by Olga Ravn - couldn't really feel any warmth for the human and cyber characters; loving Booth by Karen Joy Fowler so far, with its 19th-century politicohippie family @bookstodon #Booth #KarenJoyFowler #TheEmployees #OlgaRavn #ActOfOblivion #RobertHarris

  3. I finally finished “Act of Oblivion” by Robert Harris.

    It was a long read, but I actually quite enjoyed it.

    I seem to enjoy these dramatised, fictional stories based on fact. It was well researched and there was plenty of colour in the descriptions.

    I recommend it.
