![]() ![]() Issues of racial identity, family dynamics between a slave holder and his Black children, and ownership of land for Blacks and Whites of varying class sizes all get tackled in a way that parses through the messiness, but remains true to real life. ![]() Taylor allows her readers to see Paul Edward’s parent’s relationship in the confines of the Reconstruction Era along with how it affects their White and Black children. Where a less assured writer may have skirted the origins of Paul Edward’s mixed heritage and feelings of discomfort at not being fully White, Black, or Native, Taylor leans into these emotions. This was my second reading of this book since high school, and I got mad all over again for Paul Edward. Taylor does an excellent job of showing depth in Paul Edward and the surrounding characters’ development as the story progresses. ![]() The recently emancipated son of a well-off White land owner, Paul Edward is learning the rules of what it means to be a multiracial man in this new Southern world where both, Whites and Blacks, are coming to terms with Slavery ending. ![]() Paul Edward is a man of mixed Native, African-American, and White heritage.

In the opening panels, Wiesner pictures another close-up eye, this one belonging to a blond boy viewing a crab through a magnifying glass. First-timers might not notice what's reflected in its eye, but return visitors will: it's a boxy camera, drifting underwater with a school of slim green fish.

Many regard Mexico's capital-then known as the "DF" or Distrito Federal-as a haven from the social ills that plague the rest of the country. In The Interior Circuit, Goldman chronicles his personal and political awakening to the nuances of this unique city as he learns to navigate the "circuito interior," its crisscrossing network of highway-like roads. The widower and award-winning writer wanted to fully embrace his late wife's childhood home and the city that came to mean so much to them. ![]() ![]() The Pulitzer Prize–finalist shares an intimate memoir of grieving his lost wife-and confronting the troubled Mexican city where she grew up.įive years after his wife's untimely death, Francisco Goldman decided to overcome his fear of driving in Mexico City. ![]() ![]() ![]() But the pure hedonism and debauchery that ensues isn't exactly what she had in mind, and Eddie soon finds herself torn between her complicated feelings for Rose and her equally complicated dynamic with Nash, whose increasingly bad behavior doesn't match up to her vision for her literary hero. Aspiring writer, Edith has never felt marriage was a priority and lives life in a very unconventional way. Story Recap: Rose and Edith (Eddie) are best friends since childhood, they do everything together including practice kissing. When Eddie receives an invitation to Nash's crumbling Gothic estate in the countryside, promising inspiration (and time to finish her novel, a long-held dream), she eagerly agrees. Infamous by Lex Croucher is a young adult, regency-era, queer love story that made me laugh and I enjoyed. Then Eddie meets charming, renowned poet Nash Nicholson––a rival of Lord Byron, if he does say so himself––and he welcomes her into his world of eccentric artists and boundary-breaking visionaries. Why can't they continue as they always have? But Rose has started talking about marriage, and Eddie is horrified. Twenty-two-year-old aspiring writer Edith ("Eddie") Miller and her best friend Rose have always done everything together―from climbing trees and sneaking bottles of wine, to extensive kissing practice. "Croucher infuses this energetic Regency era friends-to-lovers sapphic romance with zany wit, joie de vivre, and a distinctive literary bent." –– Publishers Weekly ![]() "Lex Croucher is one of my favorite rom-com authors, and they should be yours, too." ––Casey McQuiston, #1 bestselling author of Red, White & Royal Blue Named a Most Anticipated Romance of 2023 by Goodreads and Bookpage ![]() ![]() ![]() The fugitive priest cannot help but contrast the sordid idea of prison with the peace and gentleness of this "nearly free" state. One priest, however, committed an offense apparently so heinous that he was jailed for a week. In this Mexican Shangri-La, priests are virtually inviolate, although they might incur a slight fine for dispensing the sacraments. ![]() Even the pages of the magazine are clean and crackling Lehr leafs through it as he gazes at his mountain pasture, whose grasses sway in the wind. Lehr scans a three-week-old New York magazine, which contains pictures of legislators whose well-stuffed and clean-shaven faces suggest the priest's former years. In the Lehrs' house, all news is outdated, contrasting with the imminence of the priest's flight. Accordingly, Greene's description of the Lehrs' house suggests the dreamlike, transitory nature of the priest's stay in this oasis of "the good life." The details used to depict the Lehr family are diametrically opposed to those of the preceding chapters, and the priest's reaction to the Lehrs reveals several previously undeveloped aspects of his character. ![]() This chapter is a romantic idyll in the midst of the priest's harrowing, ambiguous quest for self-reform. ![]() ![]() ![]() It’s finally Friday, Bookworms … Do you have any fun reading plans this weekend?
