Les déracinés
This is the story of a Jewish couple that starts in Vienna in 1930 and follows them throughout their exile.
I started this book before my trip to Vienna and I almost gave up on it. It is only when they leave Vienna that I was caught in the book and really liked it from there.
The family ends up in the Jewish settlement of Sosua, in the Dominican Republic. If you are like me and had never heard about the creation of this community before, this video from the NY museum of Jewish history explains it and interviews some of the settlers.

Meh. I didn’t get much from it. There are some resources and a course that came with the book, I haven’t checked them out yet.
War and Peace
I continued reading one chapter per day. Still enjoying it.

The emperor’s hairstyle:

And I can also see from the bookmark how far we are already in the year
