Starting with the town and all its unique residents, then with Stella’s and Luka’s sweet sweet romance, and then ending with the fact that things don’t simply fall into perfect place by the end of this book, but the characters have to work for it and come up with real solutions. They’ve been best friends forever so they can just as easily act as lovers, right? Especially if they’ve been mutually pining for each other for years… What she did not expect was to be chosen as one of the finalists and having to conjure that significant other out of thin air. James launches a contest with a $100,000 cash prize, Stella constructs an idea of a happily-ever-after couple building up a small Christmas tree farm and she sends in her application.

A shadow glimpsed outside the house a ring on the doorbell at night a phone call where nobody speaks… Eventually, the stranger announces herself. The days go by without much change in Helmer’s life, despite the changing demands of the seasons – that is, until the farmer begins to suspect that someone is trying to contact him. In fact, he appears to harbour deep-seated resentment towards his father, keeping the frail old man locked up in an upstairs bedroom. With his mother and his twin brother, Henk, both long dead, you would think that Helmer would be more friendly to his last remaining family member. It’s set in the Dutch countryside, where Helmer, a fifty-something farmer, lives in his family’s big, old house, with only his aged father for company. The Twin (translated by David Colmer) was writer Gerbrand Bakker’s first novel for adults, and as you can see on the sticker in the picture, it won the IMPAC Dublin Prize in 2010. I recently received a copy of The Twin from a kind Twitter follower ( who had just finished it (thank you!), so when Iris announced that this would be one of the readalong choices, the only thing to do was start reading it □ Surprisingly though, the matter of what to read was also taken out of my hands. I’m very keen to take part in blog events for translated fiction, so I was always going to find something for Dutch Lit Fortnight, hosted by Iris on Books. Parts of the story would be tonally of a piece with any Richard Price or Dennis Lehane novel, or an episode of The Wire. The Casual Vacancy immerses the reader in a richly peopled, densely imagined world.intelligent, workmanlike, and often funny., The Casual Vacancy, JK Rowling's first adult novel, is sometimes funny, often startlingly well observed.Jane Austen herself would admire the way shows the news of Barry's death spreading like a virus round Pagford., There are plenty of pleasures to be had in The Casual Vacancy. A study of provincial life, with a large cast and multiple, interlocking plots, drawing inspiration from Elizabeth Gaskell and George Eliot. A woman at the time couldn't just sleep around without serious consequences." "Well, it's usually her cousin, actually. She's spending Saturday night with her BFF instead of getting some action, right?" "How do you know they aren't knocking down her door?" But it's pretty obvious the chick is bitter because guys aren't knocking down her door." "I think you've just shattered my entire perception of Much Ado About Nothing. Beatrice had a wicked tongue and was almost always on the attack. Imogen was speechless for a second, horrified at the realization that while Ty's explanation was simplifying the situation, he might actually have a point. And probably walking around with a sour look on her face all the time and a big old chip on her shoulder, so she gets negative attention from men, which in turn pisses her off more and convinces her that her theory She is lumping all men together, calling them all dirt, not giving any guy a chance. "Man hater? I don't think that's entirely true." "Beatrice is telling her uncle she will get married only when God makes men out of something other than dirt." A little harsh perhaps, but having briefly tried online dating, Imogen could see where she was coming from. There are holes, and you can fall down them. Beyond the mirror, as beyond the TV screen, there appears to be another realm. Except that the second time, the mirror image does something that the person hadn't done. Twice, light itself seems to slow down, becoming sluggish and viscous, as people leave their likenesses in mirrors, the reflections still peering out when their owners have left the room. Instead the novel progresses through hallucinatory edits. There are few explanatory connections and reasons for acts. There is also the man who beat up the prostitute, in his office late at night, talking to his wife on the phone or doing sit-ups on a yoga mat with Scarlatti on the CD player. Mari, the serious, still centre of the novel, chats about battery farming or cinema or her beautiful sister's modelling career. Later, Eri will be sucked through the screen and trapped in that room.Īs usual in Murakami, the uncanny is juxtaposed with exquisite ordinariness. An unplugged television set sparks to life, showing a room where a man sits wearing a cellophane mask. Meanwhile, Mari's sister Eri is asleep, as she has been for the last two months, and something very strange is happening in her bedroom. Before dawn she will have met a trombonist, Takahashi, as well as Kaoru, the tough blond manager of a local love hotel, where a Chinese prostitute is beaten up by a mysterious man. Just before midnight, we meet a young woman, Mari, smoking and reading a book in a coffee shop. I grew up Mormon, and when I heard the Bible stories- I always thought, where are the women? I know they were there, why are they cut out? Why do we only hear the stories of the men? Why are they invisible? I LOVE that she writes about the women that surrounded Jesus when he was on the cross, because really, where were the men? Where were the apostles? It comes from years of loving children and husbands.” I know in The Secret Life of Bees, Sue Monk Kidd wrote, “She liked to tell everybody that women made the best beekeepers, ‘cause they have a special ability built into them to love creatures that sting. The way Sue Monk Kidd portrays the story we’ve heard a million times, from the point of view of Ana, makes it even more heartfelt, and certain parts made me weep. It’s an audacious premise, and I do love a writer who jumps right into the fire. It’s the kind of book you want to slow down because you don’t really want it to end.Īlso, because the book is centered around a woman named Ana, who ends up falling in love with and marrying Jesus, (yes that Jesus). The way she writes enters my dreams and I carry her book with me to read in every spare moment. Her writing is beautiful and vivid, I want to swim in it. I just finished reading Sue Monk Kidd’s new novel, The Book of Longings, and there were so many parts that struck me and inspired me.
