We seem to be in the middle of a mini infatuation with the Wars of the Roses (or the Cousins’ War as it has started being called recently), which I am totally behind as an antidote to all the yawnsome fawning over the dough faced Henry VIII that has been prevalent over recent years. It seems very fitting on this the anniversary of Margaret Beaufort’s birth and Cecily Neville’s death to post a short review of Sarah Gristwood’s superb Blood Sisters: The Hidden Lives of the Women Behind the Wars of the Roses, which I have been wanting to read for AGES.

But with the argument over what she wants to do with her life and her life morphing into adulthood, she wonders about the identity of her biological mother. Then we’re teleported back to 2019 Cleveland, Ohio, where a Logan Diffenderfer rounds the corner of William McKinley High School track that leads us to a group that’s been focused on sisterhood since pre-kindergarten without the traveling pants: Ava, CJ, Jordan, and Martha, their names listed alphabetically for fairness.Īva Morgan wants to be an artist with her eye on the Rhode Island School of Design, better known as RISD, but her workaholic lawyer mother keeps begging her to choose a more stable career path and a more well-rounded institution.

Most Likely by Sarah Watson follows a group of four friends who lean on each other to make sure they excel in their senior year of high school as one of them is destined to become president of the United States. I am the one who is flying over all of it looking down. “ I am not grief sick nor stiffer in the joints nor ever lonely, nor someone who lives with the nausea of having killed and seems to be destined to kill again. This book is also about flying, and the enjoyment Hig experiences when soaring through the air over the abandoned landscape in a small 1956 Cessna that he calls The Beast. However, he and Bangley have each other’s backs and share food from the vegetable garden Hig keeps, and the deer he hunts in the forests around them. He is not entirely alone, as he has a neighbour, Bangley, a tough fighting man with an arsenal of weapons not a natural friend for Hig. Hig has survived, his wife is dead, and he lives in a small hangar of an abandoned airport with his dog, Jasper. This is a post-apocalyptic tale, set in an America where everyone bar a few people has died of a flu pandemic.

Then there were worrisome remarks in letters to friends: "Nothing seems predictable, except pain."Īs The Last Season reveals, in steroid-enhanced versions of points that might shape a magazine article, there were obvious factors contributing to Morgensen's discouragement.

It’s the catalyst that pushed me from being a fan of science fiction to wanting to write it myself.” “This book changed me, in the sort of way that only books can do. I walked in there, with my Star Wars notebook and my Star Trek sensibilities and my brain full of role-playing games, and I felt like I’d beat the system. Instead, I enrolled in an elective course: Science Fiction and Fantasy. I was sick of morality tales about brooding men and tragic women, of five-paragraph essays and teachers who didn’t sympathize with my indignation toward how Odysseus treated Penelope. I was in the thick of adolescence, and in a fit of who-cares-about-college rebellion, I’d abandoned Honors English.

They are not trying to work out anything. to discover that “crashing with him” includes staying at a giant party mansion because the whole band is supposed to be living together and working on a project, so it’s not even really his house and he can avoid her as much as he wants. So, when everything hits the fan for Evelyn, David offers to let her crash with him for a couple of days, she’ll have his security team, they can wrap up the paperwork, and everything will calm down. She goes home thinking she can just quietly brush it all under the rug, only to discover that her husband is a famous rock star and she’s part of the paparazzi news cycle. She finds out they’re married, he finds out that everything he thought was meaningful and important she was actually too drunk to remember, and he slams out, promising to take care of ending the marriage. Here’s how it goes: Evelyn does wake up on the bathroom floor with a strange man taking care of her. This isn’t quite how it goes, though, and I think the way it goes is much more interesting than “they’re forced to figure out their marriage because Reasons”. I think the premise that I read is that Evelyn wakes up in Vegas and finds out she’s married to David and they have to figure it out. |
