Jewell rotates narration in The Family Upstairs among a trio of key characters. Libby discovers in swift succession the grisly scenario that led her to be adopted at 10 months, a rabbit’s foot keychain left for her in the crib, and disturbing noises upstairs at her new, supposedly unoccupied, house. Sixteen Cheyne Walk is no windfall, though. But this addicting thriller is also about identity, family, and most of all, the dark side of charisma.Īs the novel opens, it’s Libby’s 25 th birthday, and she’s just found out that she’s inherited a home in the posh Chelsea section of London. So it makes sense that her newest, The Family Upstairs, is on one level the horrific backstory of Libby Jones, found alone in her crib, the only survivor of an apparent group suicide. In I Found You, she excavates the impact of memories as part of her tale of an amnesiac who appears near a single mother’s home. In The Girls in the Garden, she uses an attack on a young teen as the foil to explore different styles of motherhood and the grass-is-greener lure of another’s spouse. The London-based writer consistently plumbs both the mysteries at hand and the societal pressures that fuel her characters. Eighteen books in, Lisa Jewell excels at domestic suspense.

Darker subject matter, nastier villains, stronger plot and character development and so on. Their struggles are intensified when they encounter three wicked enchantresses that seek to put a wrench in their plans.īetter than the first book in every way. Taran and his crew seek to weaken Arawn's forces by stealing his cauldron which he uses to empower his army. Taran and his newfound companions find themselves locked in a battle against the lord of the Land of Death Arawn and his legions of evil creatures. The books are short and easy to read so I’m willing to go through them. I didn’t like Taran and his companions at first, but I think they have a lot of potential to grow on me in future installments. The pacing is messy and a lot of characters and plot points come off as underwhelming and anticlimactic, but all in all it’s a fun little fantasy adventure with nonstop action and a bit of slapstick humor. Meeting unlikely companions along the way including the heroic Prince Gwydion and the sassy Princess Eilonwy, Taran finds himself wrapped up in a battle against the Death Lord Arawn and his legion of evil beasts while searching for Hen Wen. When his pig goes missing amidst the scene of a great battle, Taran just might have to become a hero whether he's cut out for it or not. He can barely manage to properly supervise his oracle pig Hen Wen. An ill-mannered farm boy named Taran dreams of being a hero, but he knows he's not cut out for that sort of life. Typically, the term is directed at low-income, rural white people. So why does "white trash" still get thrown around without much pushback? It's deft in its ability to demean multiple groups at once: white people and people of color, poor people and people who "act" like poor people, rural folks and religious folks, and anyone without a college degree. Yet "white trash" could be called the Swiss army knife of insults. An article in The New Republic once posed the question of whether President Trump might be " a white trash icon." For some reason, the term manages to come across as less offensive than most other racial slurs. You can get away with calling something "white trash" in polite company, on cable television and in the headline of a magazine article. I'd only hesitate with very young children because of the deaths, and the pirates may be scary for them. I think this would be a great book to read to kids that were not old enough to read it themselves. For parents - There wasn't anything in it to give parents pause - except for a few deaths in the battles with the pirates - a couple good guys, a few bad guys, but although there were sad deaths (the good guys) nothing was too graphic. The protagonist, 15 year old Matt, is likable, responsible, honest and the story is well written. I wouldn't assume girls wouldn't like this one. It might appear to be more of a "boy book", but there is a main character who is a girl, so there's someone girls can relate to, and a bit of wholesome romance. It takes place in an alternate history of our world - so it may be classified as fantasy, but it is not really a fantasy story - it's an adventure story. Set in an imaginary past where giant airships rule the skies, Airborn is the story of Matt Cruse, the fifteen-year-old cabin boy of the 900 foot luxury airship, Aurora. Airborn is about a cabin boy on an passenger air ship. (20.52) But then comes disappointment, and a major turning point for Matt: I could not fly. As Eva struggles to come to terms with the depth of Jackson's deception, she must also confront her growing attraction to Jackson's brother, Saul, who offers her intimacy, passion, and answers to her most troubling questions. Jackson's father and brother reveal a dark past, exposing the lies her marriage was built upon. Instead, she discovers that the man she loved so deeply is not the man she thought she knew. Weighed down by confusion and sorrow, Eva decides to take leave of her midwifery practice in London and visit Jackson's estranged family in Tasmania with the hope of grieving together. From the celebrated author of Swimming at Night comes a powerful and moving saga of one woman's struggle to overcome her husband's death and uncover his dark, mysterious past.Įva has only been married for eight months when her husband, Jackson, is swept to his death while fishing. (The large is a reflection of the small.) Reading notes Change is constantĪdrienne maree brown outlines the principles of emergent strategy, drawing from the Earthseed verses in Octavia Butler’s Parables series, as well as other sources as diverse as Bruce Lee, Lao Tzu, and Rihanna: What thoughts are you thinking with? Reading and rereading and rereread. I found her philosophies about transforming the world compelling, but even more than that, I was awakened by her choice to read Octavia Butler as gospel. The book is meandering-fittingly, as she sketches out the elements and principles of what she calls “emergent strategy,” it’s only after reading and rereading many of her passages, incantations, and reflections that her ideas really begin to emerge. brown uses the work of Octavia Butler-specifically, the concept of “shaping God” from the Earthseed verses in the Parables series-to document a strategy for building a healing and sustainable approach to the world. “I read sci-fi and visionary fiction as political, sacred, and philosophical text, and I engage with others who read it that way,” writes adrienne maree brown, in this astonishing, radical, and humane book (39).
