ET Read Home, a monthly reading list

For June, some Central Europe

Paid subscribers get two extra issues a month. One of those is ET Read Home, suggestions of books to read right now. 

This is a day late! I am sorry!

Normally, this features a mix of fiction and non-fiction, old and new. However! I am in Vienna and was in Prague this past weekend and so am doing a roundup of books to read on and related to some special cities in Central Europe. 

On Vienna…

This isn’t about the city, per se, but it kind of is. Edmund de Waal’s The Hare With Amber Eyes: A Hidden Inheritance is the book I have found myself thinking about the most while walking around here. It is about a wealthy Jewish banking family and tracing what’s left of an art collection and the story takes the reader, memorably, right through this city and its historic hateful complicity.
