Just days after the United States decimated Hiroshima and Nagasaki with nuclear bombs, the Japanese surrendered unconditionally. But even before the surrender, the US government and military had begun a secret propaganda and information suppression campaign to hide the devastating nature of these experimental weapons. The cover-up intensified as Occupation forces closed the atomic cities to Allied reporters, preventing leaks about the horrific long-term effects of radiation that would kill thousands during the months after the blast.

Dark but important
Revisado: 03-20-24
I watched “The bomb and the Cold War” on Netflix. It features this author, so I looked up this book. It’s a dark honestly story about the US’s use of the bomb and how a journalist really opened the conversation to what really happened. We need to remember this as this threat is still with us.

Deborah Harkness’s sparkling debut, A Discovery of Witches, has brought her into the spotlight and galvanized fans around the world. In this tale of passion and obsession, Diana Bishop, a young scholar and a descendant of witches, discovers a long-lost and enchanted alchemical manuscript, Ashmole 782, deep in Oxford's Bodleian Library. Its reappearance summons a fantastical underworld, which she navigates with her leading man, vampire geneticist Matthew Clairmont.

Performance is fine, too bad the story isn’t
Revisado: 10-05-23
I wanted to be swept away by a witchy story. I know that meant some goofy story lines etc, but no matter how I tried, I just couldn’t do it with this story. An alchemy historian? Sorry. Try Fifth Sacred Thing if you want a story about witches with some depth.

Eve has an adoring girlfriend, an impulsive streak, and a secret fear that she’s wasting her brief youth with just one person. So one evening she posts some nudes online. This is how Eve meets Olivia, and through Olivia the charismatic Nathan. Despite her better instincts, the three soon begin a relationship—one that disturbs Eve as much as it enthralls her.

Disturbingly haunting story.
Revisado: 01-28-23
Putting sex and the main character’s relationship to it at the center of this story, may lead people to think this book is just steamy. It is sexy, but also disturbing. It makes you question power and what we desire in sex. And leaves you uneasy.
The reader is slow. But increase the speed and it’s easier to listen to.

In the Shadow of 10,000 Hills combines the force of literature with the allure of women's fiction in a family saga that spans from Atlanta during the Civil Rights Movement to post-genocide Rwanda. At the heart of this novel that crosses racial and cultural boundaries is the search for family on a personal and global level.

Intense story of love, grief and trauma
Revisado: 01-24-21
This book bravely takes on a devastating time, the genocide that took place in Rwanda. Like the holocaust, it is easier to not think about what we humans are capable of. By we need to remember, to remind ourselves what we say and what we do matters. With delicate story-crafting this book doesn’t avoid it, but allows you to see around the edges of a trauma that cannot be imagined, to the people who lived it, and then went on living after as best they could.

The year is 2048. Climate change and bio-warfare have ravaged much of the Earth, and societal meltdown has splintered the US into fragments. But out of the ruins, Northern California has built a thriving culture based on respect for the four sacred things: air, fire, water and earth.

Finally on audible!
Revisado: 09-05-16
I have loved this story for over a decade and was so happy, but a bit nervous when I heard it was coming out in an audible form. I was not disappointed. Maya Lilly (this cannot be her real name, but brilliant!) was amazing. You will be moved.
