Queen of Bedlam by Laura Purcell7/5/2023 When Ruth Butterham arrives at Oakgate she immediately becomes of interest to Dorothea. Her father is keen to marry her off to a man who is suitable to a woman of her class, but Dorothea is much more interested in the women prisoners of Oakgate Prison and in furthering her study of phrenology: a theory which claims to be able to determine character, personality traits, and criminality on the basis of the shape of the head. This is my first book by Laura Purcell and I will be going on to read her others without a doubt!ĭorothea Truelove is a 25 year old lady – wealthy and beautiful. The Corset was our September book pick for the Shoreham Book Club and generally it was well received by our members – a couple didn’t get on with it but I absolutely adored it.

The divines by ellie eaton7/4/2023 I found myself more invested with the timeline that examined Josephine’s time as a Divine over her present day. The pacing of THE DIVINES is a bit on the slower side, as Eaton methodically chooses what to reveal about Josephine’s life. Eaton’s prose is lyrical and whip smart in a way that comes off much stronger than what I typically expect a debut to provide. Ellie Eaton’s debut novel, THE DIVINES, gives readers all the scandal and drama we have come to love with these boarding school tales. I’m a sucker for a book set in academia and boarding schools hold a certain level of mystery that always captivates my interest. She must face the biggest secret of her life, which also just happens to be her former school’s greatest scandal. Fluctuating between present-day Los Angeles and flashbacks of school, Josephine must learn to come to terms with the memories she has buried. She will never stop being a Divine, no matter how hard she tries to put that time behind her. Josephine will never forget the motto that belonged to her elite English boarding school, St.

Danielewski mark z7/4/2023 The sections with Xanther are by far the most interesting ones in the novel, largely because they are the only coherent ones, despite Danielewski’s insistence on punctuating them with (endless (nested (parentheses))). Her parents have planned to surprise her with a dog, but on the way to pick it up, she and her father encounter a small kitten, sick and stranded in the rain. The heart of the story, such as it is, belongs to Xanther, a sweet but troubled 12-year-old girl living with epilepsy. There are also some scenes in Marfa, Texas, (in accordance, one supposes, with a law mandating the small town be mentioned in every hip novel, whether or not it makes any sense). “Happen” might be too strong a word, actually – although the story abruptly switches locations to Singapore and Mexico at various points, it’s impossible to tell what’s going on, or why. Readers who dig deeper, though, will discover that there’s a little more to it: a Los Angeles girl finds a kitten, and then several other seemingly unrelated things happen. The basic plot of The Familiar is this: a Los Angeles girl finds a kitten.

Siddhartha audio book7/4/2023 In his new book, Cobalt Red, Kara writes that much of the DRC's cobalt is being extracted by so-called "artisanal" miners - freelance workers who do extremely dangerous labor for the equivalent of just a few dollars a day. He says that although the DRC has more cobalt reserves than the rest of the planet combined, there's no such thing as a "clean" supply chain of cobalt from the country. Chan School of Public Health and at the Kennedy School, has been researching modern-day slavery, human trafficking and child labor for two decades. Smartphones, computers and electric vehicles may be emblems of the modern world, but, says Siddharth Kara, their rechargeable batteries are frequently powered by cobalt mined by workers laboring in slave-like conditions in the Democratic Republic of Congo. An artisanal miner carries a sack of ore at the Shabara artisanal mine near Kolwezi, DRC, on Oct.
