February 2020 Reading Roundup
From Japanese literature to the history of Serbia via the aftermath of war in Sierra Leone, this has been a good month’s reading for me. Here’s a roundup of the books I’ve read in February.
The Sound of the Mountain by Yasunari Kawabata
I found this a good overview of Serbian history from Neolithic times to the present day. Serbia didn’t exist as an independent state for most of that time, but the book does a good job of charting the main events on the territory under Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman rule, as well as under independent Serbian rulers during their most powerful time in the 14th century and again in recent times.
The Verdict
The standout book for me this month was The Memory of Love by Aminatta Forna. I’ll read pretty much anything she puts out, and this is right up there with her best work, although I think I still marginally prefer The Hired Man.
