JamieArc This is for real. My husband works in health equity and received this. Words like Community? So ridiculous and maddening. 4mo

ElizaMarie I know there are some very important words on here, but --- I grew up near the Gulf of Mexico and I will NEVER not think of it as such. Other words are worth more of the fight (yes) but... NEVER! 4mo

Pickpick

An excellent exploration by political analyst Naomi Klein into how being mistaken for Naomi Wolf, a writer who's moved to the political right, has prompted an analysis of how the left/right binary isn't as simple as it was. She looks at a “mirror world“ where the axis can sometimes be a diagonal one, revolving around issues like Covid and anti-vaxxing, big pharma, conspiracy theory, global and online media, and wellness.

"Tragedy, he perceived, belonged to the ancient time, to a time when there was still privacy, love, and friendship, and when the members of a family stood by one another without needing to know the reason."

AnneCecilie
Hotel Du Lac | Anita Brookner

Pickpick

Edith Hope has been sent to Hotel du Lac in Switzerland after an indiscretion to be out of view to her English friends. She sees it as an opportunity to do some work, she‘s an author.

At Hotel du Lac there‘s several other rich, English women. In a way this atmosphere reminded me of a Poirot crime without the crime.

Edith gets to know the other women, and suddenly there‘s a man there, a Mr Neville

The view on unmarried women reminded me a

AnneCecilie a little of the women in a Prym novel, only they are happier in their lives than these women seemed to be. They also seemed to be judged more, even if this was written later. That‘s another thing, this book gives the feeling of being set in the 30s/ 40s, but color TV is mentioned and that came way later. #1984 #192025 @Librarybelle 10mo

youneverarrived Love the cover 🩷 10mo
Ruthiella This is the only Brookner title I really liked. I don‘t think her protagonists are ever happy. I prefer the bemusement of Pym‘s novels. 10mo
squirrelbrain Gorgeous cover! 10mo
