Welcome to Litsy!

This is my first post here on Litsy: I am starting my first Tim Winton book tomorrow, Juice.

Imagine your dreams were government surveilled. Pretty horrifying! I loved this premise, but this dragged on for ages. Something about the execution just didn‘t work for me.

Interesting.

I really enjoyed this. It was very hopeful and empowering without becoming naive. Gilead and the Commanders are as abhorrent as ever. The 3 women telling the tale come from vastly different circumstances which made it a very interesting read.

I‘ve heard very good things about this short novel. So far, we‘re off to a good start.

Another journey story, this time for a new home, a safe place when the world you knew has ended and doubt is everywhere. I particularly enjoyed Rice‘s descriptions of the Ontario landscape and the way nature had crept back into previously man-made spaces. At risk from roving bands of mercenaries as well as Nature herself, this journey takes a weaving path to safety, and to home. Beautifully written and starkly lovely.
