I am reading a small book, written in the US in 1966, about a quail called Robert ....... we kept quail for a while but they were never tame. 

I am 'into' Elisabeth Laurd currently .........

It's a shame Maeve Binchy died as I loved all her books.

I don't think there was so much a twist  :-\ but I loved the way she wrote about the families & friends of the characters, & how they all lived together in a community etc.

It's hard going a bit.  Will be glad to get to the family connections although the history of the sugar and slave trade are interesting.  This book must have taken years of Research and a lot of help to collate it.  I hail from one of the towns which is remembered for stopping the slave
trade ;-).

‘Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine'.  Is well worth a read.

Have read "The Tatooist of Autswitz" (Auschwitz) in 1 go ........... really need to get the correct spelling  :-\.  I was engrossed.  The horrors didn't come across though.

You should try 'If this is a man', by Primo Levi.  The horror is more than evident.
