The Heart’s Invisible Furies by John Boyne is the recipient of an award for standout storytelling and it definitely deserves that honor. This book is extraordinary and it has become one of my favorite contemporary novels.
The Travelers by Regina Porter centers around the lives of two families that includes a New York attorney, an African American woman, a married sailor on an air craft carrier in Vietnam, an interracial and academic scholar couple, a lesbian starting life over again in 1970s’ Berlin, a black moving man stranded during a Thanksgiving storm in Portsmouth and two half-brothers who meet for the first time in their adulthood.
Here’s my favorite book of June. Here’s one of my favorite books of all times. Thank you, Tara Westover, for writing Educated, for bringing this book into the world.
I just have to say that Ali Smith is a genius. The literary quality hasn’t been compromised in any way. It must be tough, very tough. But she just manages it because she is Ali Smith, a magician of some sorts!
Everything Here Is Beautiful by Mira T. Lee, that came out last year, is a novel that essentially deals with mental illness.
A few days ago, I finished Daisy Jones & The Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid and I don’t even know how to describe my face when I closed this book. I was euphoric because I was mesmerized by this story and sad, at the same time, because it was over. Yes, it’s this good! Let’s see: I haven’t read The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo yet and I was feeling sort of skeptical. I didn’t really know if Daisy Jones & The Six was going to live up to the hype. But it did!
She Wants It by Jill Soloway is one of the most inspiring books I have ever read! Jill Soloway is the creator of Transparent, the award-winning Amazon TV series, that revolves around a Los Angeles family and their lives following the discovery that the person they knew as their father Mort is a trans woman.
