This book was absolutely fascinating! When I previously thought of the Ku Klux Klan, I always pictured it in the deep South. To realize it had fully gripped the Midwest and parts of the Pacific Northwest in the 1920's and 30's was surprising, though it probably shouldn't have been. Egan's writing is excellent, as always and I can't recommend this book highly enough.
Wonderful family epic. You’ll fall in love with the complicated Tran women as the story is told through each of their voices. Family secrets abound as three generations of women make their way through the world and heal old wounds.
This book absolutely gutted me, but I still want everyone to read it! A modern day satire on our prison industrial complex combined with our obsession with reality tv mixed with commentary on who society deems as expendable...it's got it all. So well written and it will make you feel feelings!
Set in the early 1900's, Sven, who's never felt at home in the city, leaves for a mining job on a Norwegian archipelago. After an avalanche leaves him disfigured, he retreats even further from society. As time goes by, he slowly builds relationships with an eclectic cast of characters and creates a chosen family out in the fjords. Entertaining and ultimately heartwarming, you'll be rooting for Sven the whole way.
This excellent work of narrative nonfiction highlights 8 locations in the United States and 1 in Senegal that detail a tiny slice of the history of slavery in the US. Clint Smith investigates how this country was built by enslaved people and focuses on locations that reckon truthfully with our history of slavery as well as those locations that try to obscure it. This well researched book takes us down the east coast and through the south, visiting locations such as Monticello, Angola Prison and Downtown Manhattan. This book filled in many gaps in my US history knowledge and opened my eyes to the fact that slavery was not just a southern issue. I highly recommend this entertaining and accessible book to anyone wanting to take a deeper look into American history.
This book was a delight. In a world that has lately felt very heavy, this is a sweet, thoughtful story. An antidote to the present toxicity of the world.
A beautiful story about love, religion, baseball and the lengths you go to for family. I loved it at 17 and I loved it when I re-read it 20 years later.
A fantastic adventure ranging from Prohibition Era Montana to the wilds of Alaska in the 1940s to present day Los Angeles. This story follows two very different women, both leading fascinating lives.
This poetry collection is one of my desert island books. Turn to any page and you will be transported by the glorious words of Mary Oliver. She is funny, heartbreaking and healing, all at once. This is the book I go to again and again, for almost any occasion. When a woman came into the store looking for something to read to her dying friend, this is the collection we handed her. Mary Oliver’s blend of spirituality and her love of the natural world shines through in every poem. These collected works span five decades and it’s a joy to see how her poetry changed over the years. What a gift to be able to see the world through her eyes.
It starts out as an unremarkable family, then slowly, a mounting sense of dread begins to take over. As claustrophobia and confusion grow, you begin to realize, along with the characters, that the world will never be the same. . .
This is a fascinating look at the woman who was “Jane Roe” in the Roe v. Wade case. She is an extra complicated woman who was, frankly, used by both sides of the abortion debate. I highly recommend this book, no matter which side you’re on.
I loved this book so much! It was strange and sad, yet wholly satisfying. Climate chaos releases a strange virus from the melting permafrost and a linked collection of short stories take us through the aftermath.
