In the evening I finished City of
Stairs,
book one of the Divine Cities Trilogy by Robert Jackson Bennett. The
main character Shara reminded me a little of the character Ana in
"The Tainted Cup"/"A Drop of Corruption", both books written by the
same author. Books I can highly recommend.
Two well-to-do couples with plenty to lose have dinner to discuss
the gruesome act their teenage sons may or may not have committed
together.
In the evening Esme and I watched "Het Diner" ([The
Dinner)[https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2352230/]), a Dutch movie based
on the book "Het Diner" by Dutch writer Herman Koch. Esme is improving
her Dutch and one way she does this is by reading this book.
The movie was OK and I rate it a 6 out of 10.
After years of putting her career first, a stand-up comic meets a
guy who seems perfect: smart, nice, successful and possibly too good
to be true.
In the evening Alice, Esme, and I watched Good on
Paper. The movie was OK and I
rate it a 6 out of 10.
