![]() He chose when they had sex Carolyn could only refuse-at her peril. He controlled the money she earned as a school teacher. He decided where she lived and how her children would be treated. Over the next fifteen years, Carolyn had eight children and withstood her husband’s psychological abuse and the watchful eyes of his other wives who were locked in a constant battle for supremacy.Ĭarolyn’s every move was dictated by her husband’s whims. But arranged plural marriages were an integral part of Carolyn’s heritage: She was born into and raised in the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (FLDS), the radical offshoot of the Mormon Church that had settled in small communities along the Arizona-Utah border. When she was eighteen years old, Carolyn Jessop was coerced into an arranged marriage with a total stranger: a man thirty-two years her senior. The dramatic first-person account of life inside an ultra-fundamentalist American religious sect, and one woman’s courageous flight to freedom with her eight children. ![]()

It's been over two years since the undead arose and the living fought back with nuclear bombs, reducing much of America-and probably the entire world-into a wasteland that’s both radioactive and teeming with hungry zombies. ![]() Our narrator is Kilroy, a former military commander turned ultimate zompocalypse survivor. I took the shot down the hole, sending the thing back into the sea of waving hands. One of them emerged from the array of limbs… Resembling strange deep-sea plant life, an ocean of hands reached up in unison to somehow will me back down the ladder and into their arms.

The rigid caste system along with other social restrictions make her survival extremely difficult and painful. ![]() A Dalit woman is a traumatised figure who is subjected to physical violence and verbal abuse. ![]() ![]() The theme of Nazi criminals and the aftermath of World War II and the Nuremberg Trials was absolutely fascinating to me. The readers are told at the beginning what happened, but more and more of the truth and events leading up to it are revealed as the story evolves. Once the story really gets going, The Huntress is a hard book to put down. Her storyline was very interesting and I always looked forward to her chapters because of the connection to the overall plot, but as I really didn’t connect with her all that much. And if you’ve read The Alice Network, yes that is the same Ian Graham that briefly appeared in that book! In addition to Ian, a few other characters from The Alice Network make cameos in The Huntress, it was so great to see them mentioned! I highly enjoyed Ian and Nina’s POVs, but I wasn’t big on Jordan’s character. The chapters alternate between the three main characters: Ian, Nina, and Jordan. And even though this wasn’t a five star read for me, it was still an amazing book.Īs always, Quinn did such a tremendous job weaving historical facts with fiction to create a totally unique and captivating story. ![]() ![]() ![]() If you haven’t learned by now, she is the ultimate queen of historical fiction novels and I devour everything she writes. It’s hard to explain just how ecstatic I was to learn that Kate Quinn wrote another WWII-inspired historical fiction. ![]() ![]() ![]() The book - and its series adaptation - are named after a dish that signifies the marriage of cultures at the heart of the story. ![]() These stories, narrated by Eleanor, shock her children and challenge everything they thought they knew about their family’s origin. Fifty years later in California, Eleanor Bennett, a widow in her 60s, loses her battle with cancer, leaving her two estranged children a flash drive that holds previously untold stories of her journey from the Caribbean to America.

Velarde is based on Mexican strongman, Plutarco Elias Calles, whom Porter knew and admired in 1921, ten years before her visit to the Hacienda Tetlapayac. Professor Ehrenpreis argues that “Porter uses pulque as her symbol for the inner death-life of Mexico” in contradiction to Givner’s contention that “the hacienda itself” supplies the story’s “symbolic pattern.” But Porter did call her story “Hacienda,” showing over and over that the hacienda in all its aspects has remained a corrupt, oppressive feudal institution despite “the true revolution of blessed memory.” Even Velarde, “the most powerful and successful revolutionist in Mexico,” owns several haciendas. For instance, he calls her discussion of “Hacienda” “only the shabbiest example of her mischief.” The question is where the mischief lies. ![]() Although Irwin Ehrenpreis’s review of Katherine Anne Porter: A Life credits Joan Givner for exploding the many legends Porter invented about her life, it mainly offers readings of several of Porter’s stories, apparently to demonstrate the inadequacy of Givner’s readings. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The boy's name, in case you were (wrongfully) asking yourself, is Lemony Snicket, and the book contains his account on the finding and losing - then finding and losing yet again - of a seemingly unimportant statue of virtually no price at all. This is a book about a boy in his apprenticeship being sent to an empty town surrounded by a waterless sea and a treeless forest, which are all in turn surrounded by mystifying mysteries extending as far as the non-astigmatic eye can see. I should've asked myself why I ever thought it would be any different than Lemony Snicket's other wonderful books, or why I even supposed it wouldn't be in the first place, but instead I asked myself all the wrong questions and thus I write this review, relaying to you my findings whilst reading Lemony Snicket's brand new book, Who Could That Be At This Hour? I was reading said book, I was hit by a twist in it - which here means I was surprised by the writing inside it, not that it somehow managed to bend my body unnaturally - and when I was done with the book, I was annoyed. There was a book, and there was a twist and there was annoyance. ![]() ![]() ![]() A love for a boy who needed more than her to be strong. Her human life with a man who wasn't her real father.

Mostly, These Fleeting Shadows is pitch-perfect reading for a dark and stormy night and the autumn book you have likely been waiting for. There are ghosts (or what seem to be ghosts), there are mysteries, there are secrets and lies and a legacy of dark medical experiments there is a journal written in code, and bones that must be collected, and a witch who is awesome, and no one can be trusted, and a heroine who – OH HOLY HELL – is not what she appears. Yes, the house is haunted, and yes, the family is out for blood, but murder is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to what author Kate Alice Marshall has planned for readers. ![]() ![]() These Fleeting Shadows is described by the publisher as ‘‘ The Haunting of Hill House meets Knives Out,’’ which is certainly apt but really nowhere close to what this creepy novel with its unforeseeable plot twists and complex characters is all about.
