![]() ![]() One year, the spoiled and rather unpleasant Sophie (who, like her little brother, is all about "receiving," and as much as possible) decides to stop wondering about her great-aunt and start investigating. During her year-round tea and Christmas cookie rituals, she always leaves young Sophie with the words, "And darling, always remember my first and final rule-whether it's birthdays, Christmas, or Halloween, it is far better to give than to receive!" Oddest of all, every year she departs on a "business trip" right after Halloween and doesn't return until Valentine's Day. But Sophie knew there was more to her than met the eye."Īs if Auntie Claus's everyday red velvet gown with furry white trim isn't unusual enough, there is the diamond key that hangs around her neck.

Well, the cover blurb tells us that as the archaeology group builds its own skull-topped ghost wall - an ancient practice that was presumably meant to be a barrier against enemy invaders - they find a “spiritual connection to the past.” Other descriptive words such as “fable” and “mythic” made me think that this story would have some magical realism to it. While the students and the professor engage in light role-playing, sleep in nylon tents, and sneak off to the local Spar for modern-day food and ice cream, Silvie’s father insists that she and her mother live “authentically,” which means no sleeping bags or pillows, no food but what they can hunt and forage, and a mandatory admiration for the ghoulish fascination that he has with the “bog bodies” - ancient preserved corpses (primarily women and girls) that have been found in the peat with evidence of ritualistic deaths. He is also sadistic, misogynistic, and abusive to both Silvie and her downtrodden mother. Nor is her father, who is behind this venture, a professor - he is a bitter, blue collar man who is obsessed with the ancient Britons. It tells the story of seventeen-year-old Silvie, who, along with her parents, is accompanying a group of university students and their professor on a 2-week “experimental archaeology” camp to reenact Iron Age life in northern England. This novella was not quite what I was expecting. Content warning: child abuse, ritual sacrifice ![]() ![]() Being out there felt like an imagined place. I always think about things I read in the news or NPR. ![]() I was thinking about the universe as the American space. The first poems I set out to write broke that silence. “A lot of this book came out of grief for my father, wanting to imagine a proper afterlife and sustain that closeness with him,” says Smith. Smith used verse, multiple pop cultural references and descriptive imagery to address her father’s 2008 death, womanhood, motherhood, spirituality and her attraction to 1960s and ’70-era science fiction films. The poetry collection was an introverted Smith’s cathartic process. In 2012, the Falmouth, MA native was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for her imaginative 2011 collection, Life on Mars. ![]() Smith is one of modern literature’s leading African American poets and creative writing instructors. ![]() ![]() Lol you probably didn't need this many recs but I adore this book and I'd for someone with similar taste to myself to find all my favorite reads. Smith is pretty spectacular too, but it isn't as good as those. ![]() Or Jane Eyre, if you don't mind male leads that monologue and are kind of shady. If you want EPIC EPIC EPIC romance read the Bronze Horseman Series. If you want the beauty and the beastish vibe this book was giving off (could just be me though, lol) I'd recommend Cruel Beauty, When Beauty Tamed the Beast, and Beauty by Robin Mckinley. If you want the angsty unlikable characters finding love aspect, I'd recommend Gone with the Wind, The Love Me with Lies Series, or Thoughtless by S.C. If you want the ugly but devouted hero kind of thing, I'd recommend the downside Ghost series. If you want the villainous love interest aspect that this book has, I would recommend the Dark-fever series by Karen Marie Moning. Just beware, it's like 1,000 freaking pages long! The love story in that one is tied with this one as my favorite of her books. Smith's other book The Last Hour of Gann. ![]() The love story in that one is …more If you want a book with a similar epic feel to this I would recommend R. ![]() Jewel If you want a book with a similar epic feel to this I would recommend R. ![]() ![]() ![]() Shaara died of another heart attack in 1988.
