Unfortunately a successful marketing is the key most of the time nowadays to 'make it' whether you are an author or an artist 😢. So many talented musicians are to be discovered but lack the connection and the funds 😢.

[@LifeLessonsFromBooks]

Yes, and further to this it makes you think just what fantastic creativity we are missing out on because of this. Many voices disappear under the noise.

I've read "Babel" from the same author, I really enjoyed it. There's some controversies as well but it's an interesting read nonetheless. I'd love to know what you think once you've read it!

[@LifeLessonsFromBooks]

Yes, now that I know her work, Babel would be intriguing. I’ll be borrowing it from the library to read. Thank you for watching and sharing your thoughts here. 😊

Hi Helen..totally agree..I read this book recently and read it over two days..I think it was extremely well written and raises a lot of interesting questions about the publishing industry..I watched some interviews by the author and I remember thinking what a smart person she is..I wonder what her next book will be?.. great review looking forward to your next one..just read (or started) Day by Michael Cunningham, would love to know your thoughts on that one if you come by it...toodleooo

[@LifeLessonsFromBooks]

Thanks for this. Yeah I listened to an interview of hers on Radio National's Book show and it was interesting to learn of her inspiration for the book. I don't know Day so will check it out. I have created a "Shelf" on GoodReads with all the books that viewers recommend and I steadily add these to that so I can refer to them when I'm out and about on my travels to libraries and stores.

@@LifeLessonsFromBooks awesome..just half way through The Pachinko Parlour..loving it..great recommendation

[@LifeLessonsFromBooks]

Glad you’re enjoying it. Have you read the other Pachinko book out of interest. It’s by Min Jin Lee and also had rave reviews. I’d like to read that too. It’s on my TBR…..like so many others. 🤣
