Powerful review, Lisa. This book has been on my radar and sounds like a must read.

No, I haven't. I need to read both of these books. Everyone was reading "Warmth" when it came out. Not sure how it slipped by me. I need to read both books.

I listened to both of them - narrated by Robin Miles. It might be easier for you to get "Warmth" and it is amazing.

I've heard and heard or I should say, read review after review of Warmth and now of Caste. I think you read Warmth recently. I can get both easily from Audible (I have an amazing membership which allows me to trade in every book I read so I can use it like a library, the only difference being that I can get anything they have instantly ). So getting them is not my excuse; rather, reading books with relentless tragedy and heartbreak is not on the agenda for me now (won't bore you why). So, as much as I'd like to read these and many other books, they are on hold for now. This is one way we are not reading "twins." Oh, well. You are still a reading machine and I assume you have returned from the Adirondacks.

I understand Anne - and these both contain heavy doses of heartbreak so save them for another time. I've never heard of the Audible membership you describe! Yes, I've returned from the Adirondacks but I guess I am still a reading machine...

The audible membership was offered in January. Perhaps they emailed me or I went to their site after a very frustrating experience with SCRiBD. Have you ever tried them? If not, don't bother. Anyway, the deal was pay for 10 months and get 12 months. But the best thing was the exchange policy as I described. It's been wonderful.

Why didn't you use the exchange policy? in previous years I didn't even know that exchanges were possible. I didn't read the fine print. Maybe this deal isn't for you, but it's perfect for me since I'm only doing audiobooks right now. With this membership I can try any book and not worry about whether I'll like it or not.

I can't wait to read this one. You make a great argument for reading it very soon, Lisa!!

I am so looking forward to reading this. The Warmth of Other Suns is one of my fav. books of all time.

Both Wilkerson’s have been home runs for you. I need to get on it!

Wow, such high praise, Lisa! I'm really looking forward to this one and learning a lot.

Great review. Caste is one of those books that I think everyone should read.

Kathleen wrote: "Great review. Caste is one of those books that I think everyone should read." Agree!

Wow, Lisa, that's quite a recommendation of this author! I saw her interviewed virtually when this was being released, and she was so gentle and unassuming. I have this on my list, but wasn't planning to read her previous book. From your review, I'm looking forward to Caste, and may need to read both!

Elyse wrote: "Amen!!!" Elyse, I know you too sing Wilkerson's praises!

Totally agree, Lisa, both books are milestones regarding understanding social history ..

Well put, Lisa!

Agree 100%, Lisa! I'm glad we both got so much out of this book! :)
