![]() ![]() 10 de julio Huamachuco" (2007) by Nona Fernández, "Estrellas muertas" (2010) by Álvaro Bisama, and "Formas de volver a casa" (2011) by Alejandro Zambra contrast with two explicitly political novels written several years earlier by members of same generation: Andrea Jeftanovic's "Escenario de guerra" (2000) and Nicolás Poblete's "Réplicas" (2003). However, three important novels published in the last five years blame Chile's apolitical, privatizing stance for helping undermine the human relationships of their authors' generation. Initially most of these writers ignored politics, focusing instead on blighted intimate relationships, and those few who did explore the aftereffects of repression dealt with private mourning and intrapsychic distress. ![]() Chilean novelists born during the 1970s who experienced as children the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet are reappraising how the dictatorship may have harmed its second-generation survivors. ![]()

![]() ![]() I loved the ending-there were definitely sad elements, but I loved the strength Aria shows and her resolve to work towards a better future. I am such a romantic, and to have this futuristic Romeo and Juliet type of story was just perfect for me. ![]() There were times I wished I could have just jumped into the story to tell her what was really going on! I loved discovering the truth right along with her, although I did suspect what was happening before she did. There had to be more behind her memory loss than how things seemed. I knew something fishy was going on with Aria's memory. The spires full of mystic power were so neat, and as I read I could picture them outside Aria's window. I loved the descriptions of the Aeries and the Depths. The setting and imagery were simply outstanding. With a dash of magic! With all of those elements, the story could have gotten heavy or chaotic, but Lawrence did an awesome job weaving a story that I simply could not put down. ![]() Not only was Mystic City a great dystopian read, it was also a political thriller of sorts, as well as a retelling of Romeo and Juliet. Oh, this was a great read! I confess that I requested it from NetGalley due to the cover alone: I read the summary but it was the cover that hooked me. ![]() ![]() ![]() Now, on New Year’s Day, one of them is dead. Amid the boisterous revelry of New Year’s Eve, the cord holding them together snaps. But after a decade, the weight of secret resentments has grown too heavy for the group’s tenuous nostalgia to bear. The story is largely told through the perspectives of three of those friends: Emma, Jules and Katie, with two of the estate’s workers, Heather and Doug, also having their own parts. The trip began innocently enough: admiring the stunning if foreboding scenery, champagne in front of a crackling fire, and reminiscences about the past. The Hunting Party is a classic whodunnit tale following nine university friends reuniting for a weekend away in a first-class retreat in the Scottish Highlands. For this vacation, they’ve chosen an idyllic and isolated estate in the Scottish Highlands-the perfect place to get away and unwind by themselves. Finn, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Woman in the WindowDuring the languid days of the Christmas break, a group of thirtysomething friends from Oxford meet to welcome in the New Year together, a tradition they began as students ten years ago. ONE OF THEM IS A KILLER.“A ripping, riveting murder mystery - wily as Agatha Christie, charged with real menace, real depth. Crime by the BookALL OF THEM ARE FRIENDS. ![]() AN INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLERNAMED ONE OF THE MOST ANTICIPATED THRILLERS OF THE WINTER BY:Goodreads ![]() ![]() ![]() When the owner of the home passes away and leaves it to Halla, she suddenly finds herself in a situation where they’re trying to force her to marry to keep the home within the family. She married young and when her husband died became a housekeeper to her in-laws in exchange for a place in their home (which was really so gracious of them, wasn’t it?). She’s been sort of a passive person most of her life, accepting her lot even if she hadn’t always been happy with it. The main character, Halla, is such a great character. Swordheart is a fantasy story with a strong romantic subplot to it, which is kind of my thing. Oh gosh, even just thinking about it while writing this review is making me want to read it again. When Halla draws the sword that imprisons him, Sarkis finds himself attempting to defend his new wielder against everything from bandits and roving inquisitors to her own in-laws… and the sword itself may prove to be the greatest threat of all. Sarkis is an immortal swordsman trapped in a prison of enchanted steel. Halla is a housekeeper who has suddenly inherited her great-uncle’s estate… and, unfortunately, his relatives. ![]() ![]() (In the third edition, the Dedekind cut construction is sent to an appendix for pedagogical reasons.)
