Reading two books that will probably make my ten-best list:
Wreath of Roses by Elizabeth Taylor, who I think has become one of my favorite novelists. I’m glad I still have a few to go.
Master Slave Husband Wife by Ilyon Woo, an account of an enslaved couple who escaped bondage in Georgia through the ruse of the light-skinned wife dressing as a man and posing as her husband’s owner. It won the Pulitzer this year for biography. I frequently don’t love prize winners; this is an exception.
