I will post some questions/quotes to get things started, but I would love for this to grow into an open discussion with and between you all. The plan is to select and read a book every month, then discuss the work during the month’s last week (to give everyone time to read it!). There is so much amazing stuff out there! Funny, inspiring, sad, thought-provoking, empowering! I’ve been discovering so much that, at times, I’ve felt like my head was about to explode… I decided to start a Feminist book club, as I want to share what I’m learning and hear your thoughts too.

As the story continues trending, Stella will have to decide just how far she's willing to go for the truth, even if it means admitting her own failures. She definitely didn't expect going to the movies to end with Rob in handcuffs for assaulting one of her classmates after his anger spiraled out of control.When a video of the fight goes viral, everyone has an opinion of Stella and her "violent vet" brother.The entire school takes sides, the media labels Rob a terrorist sympathizer, and even Farida is dragged into the mess despite not being there. But Stella won't talk about it, and Farida can tell she's keeping something from her.Desperate to help Rob, Stella thinks she just needs to get him out of the house. It all started when Stella's brother came home from his latest tour with the US Marines in Afghanistan paranoid and angry. This immigrant story is easy to swallow, if a bit weighty in tone, very much like Christine Gonzalez's The Red Umbrella (Knopf, 2010).Rhona Campbell, Washington, DC Public. Stella and Farida have been best friends forever, but lately things have been tense. Littman's sprinkling of Spanish words and phrases throughout gives a genuine feel to her dialogue, and her references to Jewish customs also fit smoothly into the context. When lines are drawn how do you find courage in the face of hate, and what does it truly mean to take a stand? įounded in 1890, the Library is a cultural and educational centerpiece of the City of Hoboken, NJ.

It was so long that in the UK its paperback edition was split in half, Part 1 being published as Steel and Snow in June 2001 (with the one-volume cover) and Part 2 as Blood and Gold in August 2001 (with a specially-commissioned new cover).

Mackenzie by the family of the Crown Prince, whose sympathy with England is natural, cannot be considered a slight to German physicians when it is taken into consideration that the German authorities pronounced the growth suspicious and advised a difficult and doubtful operation, and that Prof. But science is international, it knows no political boundaries, and the choice of Dr. Many have been unable to suppress the expression of regret that this important case was not under the care of a German, and part of the press look upon it as unjust treatment of the German specialists. Every phase of this treatment, every new development, is watched with suspense and hope. If his wide experience and great skill enable him to permanently remove the growth from the throat of his royal patient, if his diagnosis and prognosis are confirmed, so that no fear need be entertained for the life and health of the Crown Prince, the English specialist will certainly deserve the most sincere thanks of the German nation.

Of course, Cooper’s characters spend their time around places I could actually visit in Cornwall, and South East England, and mid-Wales. It has that mix of modern day life, hidden history, and magic which failed to hit popular culture until the early days of Buffy and Anne Rice. These days we would call Cooper’s series Young Adult Contemporary Fantasy and looking back on it, it influenced me a lot. Oddly, then, one of the first fantasy novels I remember reading was The Dark Is Rising, by Susan Cooper (later made into a terrible juvenile movie). The same applies to my sci-fi, really I prefer gritty over shiny. So my idea of a good fantasy novel involved dirt and leather, not shining plate armour and Hollywood-medieval manners. I always preferred the Dark Ages anyway there’s so much more room for imagination when people aren’t writing down every last detail. Ancient history obviously, and border history, right on the edge of the Empire. I was born in the vicinity of Hadrian's Wall so perhaps a bit of history rubbed off.
