Driven by an almost naive curiosity, akin to Alice herself, Funder conducts extensive interviewing to uncover not only the stories and experiences of the victims of the regime, but also of the Stasi, the “internal army by which the government kept control”. Anna Funder’s Stasiland and Kazuo Ishiguro’s Never Let Me Go bring together two complex, poignant worlds of “personal stories” and subjective narration of what once was, an individual's place in history and its aftermath, especially when the world attempts to move on.Įstablishing a literary allusion to Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland in the title, Funder’s narrator of Anna fills the role of Alice as she stumbles upon and explores the absurd and unjust world of the German Democratic Republic (GDR). 7/5/2023 0 Comments Marie rutkoski real easyGeorgia, another dancer drawn into the ensuing murder and missing person investigation, gathers information for Holly, a grieving detective determined to solve the case.

But the newest dancer is so clueless that Samantha feels compelled to help her learn the hustle and drama of the club: how to sweet-talk the boss, fit in with the other women, and make good money. She’s not used to mixing work and friendship-after all, between her jealous boyfriend and his young daughter, she has enough on her plate. It’s 1999 and Samantha has danced for years at the Lovely Lady strip club. "iveting.An adrenaline ride filled with grit and compassion." Bringing to mind Gillian Flynn and Tana French but completely unique, Marie Rutkoski's Real Easy is a compulsive, tenacious, and unexpectedly hopeful thriller. Not too long in I realised that she talks quite similarly to the common folk in Poldark, and once I made that connection, it kind of clicked into place. Evey narrates the story, but she has an old fashioned way of speaking. The writing style is quite different, and got a bit of getting used to. I have a number of problems with Witch, but I'll start with a positive. Will Evey be the victorios hunter, or will she be prey? But the witch hunters know she's still out there, and are hunting her, too. With the help from surprising people along the way, and an unlikely friendship developing, Evey gets ever closer to her goal. She has no plan, only fury and her mother's scrying stone. Fighting with her conscience, she leaves Dill with her aunt Grey and the rest of her mother's coven, and sets out to kill those who killed her. But doing so is difficult with her nine-year-old sister Dill in tow, especially when it's so dangerous. Witnessing the murder of her mother for being a witch, Evey swears to avenge her death on every man involved. Witch sounded like a story that would be right up my street, but sadly, it was quite disappointed. 7/5/2023 0 Comments An accidental goddessTo Gillie’s horror, when she wakes up in the sickbay of space station Cirrus One, her sentient nanoessence Simon - think “advanced computer AI” and you’re not far wrong, except Simon is not necessarily incorporeal and enjoys cracking wise at Gillie’s expense - tells her that during the intervening three hundred years, the Khalarans have made her a Goddess.

However, a wormhole opened during a deep space battle with the Fav’lhir, a nasty bunch of psychics who believe “might makes right” and takes for granted anyone without psychic ability races like the Khalarans are called “Impure,” thus are cattle for the slaughter.
