Cue his introduction to a witchy dynasty of farming women. His dad (Tennant again, swapping melancholy for exasperation) burns the toast, while his younger self squabbles comically with his sister in the bedroom they are forced to share because their reduced circumstances demand a lodger, who promptly kills himself in the family car. The story is simple: a man (Nicolas Tennant) revisits the scene of his first love and the aftermath of his mother’s death, where he finds a family on the edge. The beauty of Katy Rudd’s production is the way that it manipulates theatre space into a simulacrum of a child’s imagination: doors menacingly multiply, windows open on to enchanted forests, and a pool of spotlight becomes a small but impregnable safe space, on the condition (which can never be taken for granted) that the child is brave and smart enough to resist demons he doesn’t yet recognise.

Like most of my stories, it will end tragically.” “I’m not sure where the story begins but I know what I want to happen. I shivered and kicked out, unwilling to acknowledge the summons, then tucked my leg into the thick folds of my Bugs Bunny comforter. First, a frosty chill crept up my ankle, the icy caress jolting me out of my red-hot dream. I did my darnedest to resist, but they were fairly persistent external forces. I was having a killer dream that featured a set of capable hands, a hot mouth, and a creative employment of lederhosen when two external forces tried to lure me out of it. The prospect led to the following dilemma: Do I seek help or buy drinks all around? Death via extreme pleasure was a serious concern. I was starting to wonder if repetitive exposure to nightly hallucinations resulting in earth-shattering cl**axes could have any long-term side effects. I’d been having the same dream for the past month-the one where a dark stranger materialized out of smoke and shadows to play doctor with me.

This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. I received this book for free from in exchange for an honest review. And it’s certainly unique.įirst off, the writing is gorgeous. Ever since the supremely talented Marlon James, hot off the back of a deserved Man Booker Prize win for the fantastic A Brief History of Seven Killings, announced that he was going to write the “African Game of Thrones”, literary fiction and genre fiction fans alike have been waiting to see just what the hell such a book would look like. This book… Where to start with this book?īlack Leopard, Red Wolf has drawn a lot of attention since before it was even written.

WHY DON’T YOU JUST HAVE A LINK TO THE INTER-LIBRARY LOAN PROBLEM I MEAN GOD I’LL BET YOU COULD GET A PROGRAMMER TO FIX THAT FOR YOU POSTHASTE When I go to pick up the book – it was an inter-library loan from the Portland Public Library. And I’m all impressed that they sent someone out to Barnes & Noble to buy a book just for me! Like, three days later I get an email: Your request has been fulfilled. But then I remember that Yarmouth is one of the richest towns in southern Maine and I also pay taxes, so fuck it, I request that the library purchases the book. There is a link for “purchase request,” which makes me sad. Nowhere within the website is there a link to the inter-library loan program. So I look for a link to request an inter-library loan on the website. (Shoulda known it was Her Royal Spyness, but that seemed almost too easy?) Then I went to the Yarmouth library’s website and … learned that they have almost every other title in the series, but not the first one. I was intrigued! I went to Goodreads, and found out the first title in the series. Everyone was saying it’s so cute, and a fast read, and etc. It’s great! And one afternoon, a whole bunch of people were raving about the “Her Royal Spyness” mysteries. I follow Go Fug Yourself / on Twitter, and occasionally they’ll have a post called “Afternoon Book Chat” where people post comments about the books they’re currently reading. |a Women |x Biography |v Juvenile literature. |a Underground Railroad |v Juvenile literature. |a African Americans |x Biography |v Juvenile literature. |a African American women |x Biography |v Juvenile literature. |a Slaves |z United States |x Biography |v Juvenile literature. |a Presents information about Harriet Tubman, from her childhood in slavery to brave escape to the North and her work to help others escape slavery. |a 1 volume (unpaged) : |b illustrations (chiefly color) |c 25 cm.
