Private Down Under / Oz (With: Michael White) I’m working on two different books right now which both feature gods alive and well in the world. So, if this isn’t my typical read, why did I read it? It’s a huge, wildly popular genre, it’s just not my typical genre. I’m not big into stories with lots of graphic sex, and you do get that here. This isn’t the kind of book I usually gravitate toward. I’m going to admit right off the bat, this is not my typical read. As she struggles to sow the seeds of her freedom, love for the God of the Dead grows-and it’s forbidden. The bet does more than expose Persephone’s failure as a goddess, however. Hades, God of the Dead, has built a gambling empire in the mortal world and his favorite bets are rumored to be impossible.Īfter a chance encounter with Hades, Persephone finds herself in a contract with the God of the Dead and the terms are impossible: Persephone must create life in the Underworld or lose her freedom forever. After moving to New Athens, she hopes to lead an unassuming life disguised as a mortal journalist. The truth is, since she was a little girl, flowers have shriveled at her touch. Persephone is the Goddess of Spring by title only. When he is an adult, with money, he decides to go a new route. He sends him letters, and never gets a reply. He knows this seal comes from his birth father and from this day on, he wants acknowledgement from his birth father, the duke. When he was just eight years old, he found the blanket with the Hedley ducal seal buried in the backyard. He rose up from being dirt poor, to opening up businesses and investing in real estate. Thirty-one years later, Mick, that unwanted baby, is an adult, and a pretty wealthy one at that. This woman takes in several children this way, supporting herself with the money the rich pay her when they hand over their unwanted children. In the prologue, we have a gut wrenching seen as our hero takes his newborn son, born to his mistress, away in the middle of the night to a common woman who for a small payment, who will raise him in a good home. Beyond Scandal and Desire has a great set-up, but it fell flat for me. Beyond Scandal and Desire by Lorraine Heath (Sins for All Seasons #1)įirst of a new series, and I always love to try out new series but I might not continue with this one. As she gradually emerges from her hermetic shell she’s forced to confront a painful past and all the emotions she’s suppressed for so long.Īlthough I’m really invested in the central subject and some sections were very moving, this novel ultimately didn’t come together for me because I couldn’t believe in Eleanor’s character. But, after watching a handsome singer at a gig, she’s inspired to change and camouflage herself “as a human woman” in order to make him fall for her. She has a frosty relationship with her colleagues and no one to speak to outside of the office except for weekly phone calls with her belligerent and cruel mother. This is protagonist Eleanor’s routine life. Author Gail Honeyman has spoken about how her initial inspiration for the novel came from reading about an ordinary young adult who had an extremely solitary existence bouncing between work and home with no socializing in between. The beginning of this novel is prefaced by a quotation from “The Lonely City” by Olivia Laing, one of my favourite books from 2016 – so my expectations were incredibly high. It focuses on loneliness – a subject I come back to continuously on my blog because it is, in part, a self-conscious exploration of that state. I had incredibly conflicted feelings while reading “Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine”. After her brother’s accidental heroin overdose and the deterioration of her mother’s mental health, Gifty learns to cope through academia. Gifty, who learned to compartmentalize her life’s trauma through the practice of science, is delivered as a rich character with precision and emotional depth.Ī series of flashbacks and reflections slowly paints a picture of Gyasi’s protagonist and her life in Huntsville, Alabama, shaped by changing family dynamics, religion, race, addiction, and mental health. Gyasi embodies the main character, Gifty, a first-generation African immigrant pursuing a PhD in neuroscience. Although the novel unfolds with the story of loss and addiction, there lacks grand emotional overture. One feature of Yaa Gyasi’s moving second novel, Transcendent Kingdom, takes the form of abstraction. And he does the first 12 issues with no breaks, including the zero issue that has Arthur’s New 52 origin (which is more in line with the original origin).

There's her art teacher, who keeps forcing her to dig deeper. Even if Prim hasn't spoken to her since that day on Coney Island.īut Zel soon finds life in Sydney won't let her hide. She'll just wait it out until she gets back to New York and Prim, her epic crush/best friend, and the unfinished subway project. That's what sixteen-year-old Zel keeps telling herself after moving to Sydney for her dad's work. As she waits for Prim to explain her radio silence and she begins to forge new friendships, Zel feels strung between two worlds. Her characters, including Beezus and Ramona Quimby, Henry Huggins, and Ralph, the motorcycle-riding mouse, have delighted children for generations. Henshaw won the Newbery Medal, and Ramona Quimby, Age 8 and Ramona and Her Father have been named Newbery Honor Books. Cleary's books have earned her many prestigious awards, including the American Library Association's Laura Ingalls Wilder Award, presented to her in recognition of her lasting contribution to children's literature. And so, the Klickitat Street gang was born! She based her funny stories on her own neighborhood experiences and the sort of children she knew. When a young boy asked her, "Where are the books about kids like us?" she remembered her teacher's encouragement and was inspired to write the books she'd longed to read but couldn't find when she was younger. Before long, her school librarian was saying that she should write children's books when she grew up. But by third grade, after spending much time in her public library in Portland, Oregon, she found her skills had greatly improved. As a child, she struggled with reading and writing. Beverly Cleary is one of America's most beloved authors. |
