This is a novel about which it is difficult to write without potential spoilers, and so while I am intending to keep this short – I can’t promise the following won’t be a tad spoilery. That nightmare thing of trying to get people to believe the unbelievable, of having no way out of a situation with only one possible horrifying conclusion. The horror lies in the way the story plays upon the reader’s fears of entrapment and loss of control and confusion of identity. The Victorian Chaise-Longue is generally described as a horror story. So, I decided to give it a try – after all it’s very short. I knew however, that I liked Marghanita Laski’s writing, her female characters particularly are very real, flawed and believable, and her novel Little Boy Lost is one of the most poignantly heart-rending novels I have ever read (that’s not a criticism). This disturbing – but compelling little novel, is one I hadn’t thought I wanted to read. The book explicitly notes that having made war on the ground man would now fill the skies with death, and that all precious things were in danger of being lost, like the lost histories of Rome (“Lost books of Livy”). One such town, Zhongdian, has now officially renamed itself as Shangri La (Chinese: Xianggelila) because of its claim to be the inspiration for the novel. The remote communities he visited, such as Muli, show many similarities to the fictional Shangri-La. It is said to have been inspired at least in part by accounts of travels in Tibetan borderlands, published in the National Geographic by the explorer and botanist Joseph Rock. Among the book’s themes is an allusion to the possibility of another cataclysmic world war brewing, as indeed it was at the time. Hugh Conway, a veteran member of the British diplomatic service, finds inner peace, love, and a sense of purpose in Shangri-La, whose inhabitants enjoy unheard-of longevity. It is best remembered as the origin of Shangri-La, a fictional utopian lamasery high in the mountains of Tibet. Lost Horizon is a novel by English writer James Hilton. In Welcome to America, Boström Knausgård’s second novel, which was awarded Sweden’s prestigious August Prize and came out in the U.S. But they also figure prominently in her own work. Questions of strength and weakness have hovered around Boström Knausgård ever since the novelist with whom she shares a last name wrote, in rather excruciating detail, about their life together and Boström Knausgård’s mental illness. It is the answer of someone accustomed to contending with the slow poison of other people’s assumptions. “I am a strong person,” she says emphatically, chuckling a little at her own vehemence. But ask her if she sees herself as weak and Linda Boström Knausgård is unequivocal. Despite the blazer and jeans, she would not look out of place rising from the mist in some Arthurian legend or collapsing onto a Victorian fainting couch. Her skin, pale as a plate of milk, is translucent, and against the clatter of the Stockholm coffee shop, she speaks tentatively, as if testing whether the words can bear her weight. You expect a certain fragility, and at first encounter, she does not disappoint. But Mare finds herself on a deadly path, at risk of becoming exactly the kind of monster she is trying to defeat. Pursued by Maven, now a vindictive king, Mare sets out to find and recruit other Red-and-Silver fighters to join in the struggle against her oppressors. This book was not at all what I was used to reading from Sarah J Maas in ACOTAR or Crescent City. Additionally, the drama between characters was petty and awful at times. The crown calls her an impossibility, a fake, but as she makes her escape from Maven, the prince-the friend-who betrayed her, Mare uncovers something startling: she is not the only one of her kind. While the world building was fantastic some of the dialogue between characters seemed off. Mare Barrow's blood is red-the color of common folk-but her Silver ability, the power to control lightning, has turned her into a weapon that the royal court tries to control.

Christmas Eve 2010, preparations are all finished, the family settles down to watch television. In the African diaspora, Black women have penned life stories that offer insight into the shifting kaleidoscope of violence and harrowing social experiences with domestic and sexual violence, foster care or forced child home systems, public humiliation, inadequate health care, employment discrimination, and disenfranchisement that have negatively impacted their physical and mental health. Sexual violence is traumatic in a hostile social environment that not only blames and shames victims, but deems Black women “unrapable,” the trauma is increased (Lenhart, 2006). This collection presents a rainbow of diverse people who stand in solidarity with those victimized in Atlanta and around the world. As the majority of girls in the youthSpark Voices program are African American, historic research provides useful context. Women’s quest for peace and justice are too often made invisible, trivialized, or misrepresented. I created workshops out of a desire to combat the social stigma surrounding survival and to help others along their paths of love and struggle. By learning the healing traditions in Black women’s intellectual history, I slowly developed an emotionally, socially, and professionally grounded life. As a survivor of several attacks during my childhood and young adulthood, I eventually found my voice through poetry and through making a career of studying African American women writers. In Spring 2015, I developed Purple Pens Poetry Workshops for survivors of sexual violence in order to share words of encouragement and empowerment. adventures never told before now, this funny, fascinating, frightening collection will challenge everything you thought you knew about the spirit world.
