I would say yes. Like everyone, it’s the claim of being a true story which attracted me to it. Well, this might be one of the most difficult reviews I have written. Sultana opens up about the atrocities committed by the Saudi establishment, standing up for right despite the risk of being killed.Narrating her story to Jean Sasson, Sultana reveals the darkest secrets beyond the veils of the secret society where money, sex and power reign supreme and violation of human rights is commonplace. From her turbulent childhood to her arranged marriage and later being displaced for another wife, Sultana shares her history of the appalling oppression in her everyday life.From the marriage of 13-year old girls with men five times their age to the killing of young women by stoning, drowning or isolation in the "women's room," the book tells readers how women are left to rot to death in this land. ![]() The Blurb: Saudi Arabian princess clad in riches and hidden behind her black veil, Sultana talks about the dark, hidden secrets she had to live with, in her past and about the living treacheries bestowed upon women in Saudi Arabia.With no freedom to take her own decisions and known only as a bearer of sons, Sultana is the strong woman at the heart of the story in Princess. ![]() ![]() There’s an explanatory note from Sweeney-Baird explaining that she wrote it before the real one struck, although there might have been some last-minute edits – there’s a single reference to “social distancing” which sits oddly given the disease she describes. ![]() The End of Men is unlucky in being published at a time when we are all armchair experts on what actually happens in a pandemic. The novel follows a number of different characters in brief chapters where they recount their experiences of the pandemic and how their lives have changed. By the end of the pandemic, only one in ten men has survived. The End of Men is the story of a near-future pandemic in which there is a flu-like virus which is fast-spreading and deadly – but only to men. ![]() ![]() In the give and take of real friendship, each gains perhaps Rowan is finding in Emily the strength to stand up to her father.

His wife has written a biography of his life, which was published 1995 titled "Touching from a Distance: Ian Curtis and Joy Division".īoth the complete albums of Joy Division, plus more can be found on Youtube. Curtis was born in 1956 and committed suicide on. He suffered from seizures which grew considerably worse as the bands fame increased. I myself was a great fan of the band, so this book is an incredible treat to own.Īlthough this particular book is nothing near a biography of Ian Curtis or the band, there is a brief history of Ian in the forward written by his widowed wife Deborah, also a bit of band history in the introduction by Jon Savage.įor those who don't know the story of Ian, he was the lyricist, songwriter and front man of the band Joy Division. If you were a fan of Joy Division or not, it must be admitted that the band had a major impact on music at the time. The book "So This is Permanence: Joy Division Lyrics and Notebooks" provides, just as the title implies, plus much more. ![]() 5/18/2023 0 Comments The Dark Prophecy by Rick Riordan![]() ![]() The only way Apollo can reclaim his rightful place on Mount Olympus is by restoring several Oracles that have gone dark. ![]() Apollo, an awesome god turned awkward mortal, journeys across North America with some demigod friends on his quest to regain Zeus's favor in Book Two of Rick Riordan's uproarious Trials of Apollo series.Ī clash of mythic intrigues and centuries of pop culture to thrill die-hard and new fans alike.-Kirkus Reviews#1 New York Times best-selling seriesRick Riordan is considered the storyteller of the gods because of his five #1 New York Times bestselling series based on mythologyA continuation of the Percy Jackson saga, but it also stands aloneA new take on Greek and Roman mythology from the point of view of a fallen godBrings back beloved demigod characters from the Percy Jackson and Heroes of Olympus seriesIntroduces new demigodsVillains are based on Roman emperorsFeatures a diverse cast with people from all kinds of backgrounds and lifestylesPerfect for middle schoolers but can be enjoyed by older readers, tooZeus has punished his son Apollo-god of the sun, music, archery, poetry, and more-by casting him down to earth in the form of a gawky, acne-covered sixteen-year-old mortal named Lester. ![]() ![]() Besides, you can’t go wrong with Beverly Cleary.ġ982: A Visit to William Blake’s Inn by Nancy Willardġ981: Jacob Have I Loved by Katherine Patersonġ980: A Gathering of Days by Joan W.
