Söndags-smakbit # 40

Bloggen Betraktelser ger oss på söndagar chansen att publicera ett litet smakprov ur en bok vi läser.
Där får du många spännande boktitlar att kika närmare på.

Jag läste idag ut boken som jag ger smakbit ur, nämligen

Jag har länkat titeln till förlaget där du kan läsa mer om boken.
