Regeneration was made into a film. It's a book I must read. I have her book The Ghost Road on my tbr stack. I remember reading your article about Iceland and I plan to visit the country next your. You might like the books of Hannah Kent. Her fiction book Burial Rites is excellent. And her recent memoir, Always Home, Always Homesick, about her time in Iceland is very good. I reviewed it in my April Reads.
I watched a clip of the film, but didn’t dive into the whole thing. The Ghost Road is a sequel to Regeneration! And yes the Iceland memoir is on my tbr—I’ll have to check out her novel too. Thanks Lucy!
It has been decades since I read an English translation of Journey to the Centre of the Earth, and that escape ending still impresses me as the craziest thing that has ever been perpetrated in science fiction, and I also read Conan Doyle's Lost World, which is like a mirror image of Jules Verne's Journey.
The reviews of The Journals of Emma M. Lion are strongly reminding me of 'Sorcery & Cecelia: or The Enchanted Chocolate Pot' and its two sequels by veteran fantasy writers Patricia C. Wrede (The Enchanted Forest Chronicles, the Lyra books) and Caroline Stevermer (The Serpent's Egg). I wasn't expecting to like a collaborative fantasy novel, but Sorcery & Cecelia was unexpectedly good.
Agreed about the escape, haha! I’ll have to look up Lost World. And I actually had Sorcery and Cecelia recommended to me quite recently! I read Patricia C Wrede growing up as well.
So glad to see something else reading Julian of Norwich! I’m not finished yet but I’m in love.
Definitely a potentially life changing book!

I read Burial Rites a few years ago. It helps to have it read before reading the memoir. I better read Regeneration first 👍
Someday, I will read Julian of Norwich.
