The Dance Tree | Kiran Millwood Hargrave

I really liked this book, but it‘s heavy and dark. So choose accordingly when you read it. It‘s about a dancing plague in the 16th century. But the characters and themes are wholly resonant for today‘s world. Hargrove examines religion, patriarchy, and who we love. And the women in the story bear the brunt of men‘s need for power. See why it‘s so heavy?

Reggie After The Mercies, I will read anything of hers. 2y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Reggie That‘s how I felt also. This didn‘t disappoint! But it‘s a slow burn. Very intense but more because of the characters and situations than a lot of action. 2y

Ooh this was dark, and with too many content warnings to mention! Writing is razor sharp and fast paced, and this take on a fairytale romance gone very bad is compelling. The LGBTQ+ #metoo tale includes a human trafficking element, rape, conversion therapy and a look at telling our own stories, in our own time vs the responsibility to share to help/save others. Didn‘t care for the ending, but so worth a read if the content doesn‘t scare you off!

#ToB23 long list - After a breakup, Gil an independently wealthy New Yorker leaves the city and walks his way to Phoenix to begin a quiet life in the wilds. Instead he becomes enmeshed with his neighbors & rural community life. This book lacks BIG moments but it‘s small everyday life experiences creates BIG impacts. A definite pick! Audio #Hoopla
