Tamara Agha-Jaffar | 1439 comments I read Whale Fall by Elizabeth O'Connor. It takes place on a small island off the coast of Wales in 1938. Told through the voice of an 18-year-old girl who awakens to the harsh realities of objectification and exploitation. A quiet novel that packs a powerful punch.

Rosh ~catching up slowly~ (roshreviews) | 450 comments Crucifixus by Belinda Tobin
Crucifixus by Belinda Tobin
The first historical fiction I've read on the topic of castrato singers. The editing could have been finetuned, but if you can focus on the plot and ignore the writing, this book can be quite impactful.

Tamara Agha-Jaffar | 1439 comments I read another great book by Maggie O'Farrell. I am amazed at the depth, breadth, and scope of her range. In The Hand That First Held Mine, she juggles two different time lines that overlap at the end. And she does it so well and with such skill. She is currently one of my favorite authors.

Death of the Author by Nnedi Okorafor
Loved the idea, liked the execution. Better for lit fic and family drama readers than for sci-fi readers.

Rosh ~catching up slowly~ (roshreviews) | 450 comments One of the best urban fantasy graphic novel series I have read. Too bad that it still has a cliffhanger ending, even after two volumes.
