November
November: A Novel | Jorge Galan
12 posts | 1 read
1989. Salvadorian society is immersed in the horror of civil war. On a fateful November dawn, a group of armed men entered the Universidad Catlica and murder six Jesuits priests and two women in cold blood. Survivor of the massacre Father Tojeira is forced to take the reins of control in the sinister days following the attack, desperate to uncover the truth behind the terrible slaughter. Inspired by the real-life tragic events that shook El Salvador and Latin America, November is a moving and unsettling novel about fear, hate and impunity. It is the first book to cast some light on the crime that was never solved and an attempt to speak out, as the murdered Jesuits attempted to do, in the defence of the disadvantaged.

I read my Bookspin for October (When She Returned), and am currently reading my October #doublespin (While Idaho Slept). I eliminated 4 books from my October list! Hoping to continue the trend in November. ❤️📚 (But I still have 5 previous months‘ spin books to catch up on! 😬)

Well my friends, somehow we are less than a week away from November! Less than 2 months from Christmas! Rapidly closing in on TWENTY-TWENTY-SIX, despite the fact that years haven't felt real since 2000.

This means it's also time to talk about the end-of-the-year giveaway!! As a reminder, every BookSpin or DoubleSpin book that you complete or DNF counts as a giveaway entry!! However, to enter you must complete the form!! ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) The form can be found here!! https://forms.gle/2TgEz5N3NLq3GyV56

Because I LOVE over-explaining things, there are even more specific instructions when you go to the link 😂 But please let me know if you have any questions!! The giveaway is open internationally if Blackwell's or Amazon ships to your country. I choose five people at random to receive a book!! (Winners provide me with some options and I pick one from their list.) ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) It's just my way of trying to encourage everyone to read their Spins!!!

If you're planning to play for November, it's (unbelievably) time to start thinking about your lists!! Can't wait to see what everyone is hoping to read (or avoid 😂) next month!!

This was a proper slog. Positioned as a novel but read basically as a series of conversations between the author and prominent figures from San Salvador. I don‘t know if it was due to the translation, but it just felt like it didn‘t know if it was trying to be a novel, it a non fiction account. A shame, as it was about events I have little to no knowledge of, so could have been very interesting!

bekakins In good news though, I am counting this as an Impulse read in #WinterGames 😁😁😁 5y
bekakins #MerryReaders +16 points (i think!) 😬 still getting my head around this! 5y
