The last book I finished reading could possibly be a favourite. I just need to give it a week or two to sink in!
It was "
Peeling the onion" by Gunter Grass. Apparently it is semi-autobiographical.
A
really really good book but a little heavy in places (it also requires quite a knowledge of contemporary European history as the
narrative travels around throughout Europe unfortunately I spent more time
looking things up than reading it!). Still, it is really captivating and
thoroughly enjoyable!
A step up from my previous favourite,
The Very Hungry Caterpillar.
n.b. - If you do decide to read Peeling the Onion it is worth making the effort to get through the 600 or so pages of "
The Tin Drum" by the same author.
