![]() ![]() ![]() A lone wolf, Skeetah is prone to superstitious behavior and spends much of the novel seemingly in touch with his environment’s underlying tone of foreboding in this way, he is a kind of prophet figure. Skeetah is, above all, loyal to his dog, China, caring for her as he would for a girlfriend and respecting her feminine power to both nurture and destroy. SkeetahĮsch’s older brother, the second-to-oldest of her siblings (age 16). She fears her father and strives to stay out of his way. ![]() Esch is fiercely loyal to Skeetah and cares for Junior as if he were her own child. She frequently consults memories of her mother for guidance and strength, giving her mother’s character an almost embodied presence in her life. Prone to daydreaming, Esch is obsessed with Greek myths and uses them to make sense of her world, obsessively comparing herself to the sorceress Medea. She is athletic and in touch with her own body, but only to the extent that it is non-feminine as she witnesses her body becoming more anatomically feminine, she attempts to distance herself from it. Growing up solely around men has lent her a sense of independence and a tough exterior, and Esch bears the hardships of falling in love and pregnancy without complaint or weakness. Esch is the only girl in her family and one of few women in the novel in general.

Vita reported to her husband - the diplomat Harold Nicolson, also queer - in a letter from December 19, 1922: Four days after their first meeting, Virginia invited Vita to a small dinner party. Their uncommon bond began in December of 1922, when Virginia was forty and her first literary success, Mrs. ![]() Sackville-West’s son, Nigel Nicolson, chronicles their relationship with great reverence and sensitivity in his 1973 book Portrait of a Marriage: Vita Sackville-West and Harold Nicolson ( public library), drawing on his mother’s letters and diaries to illuminate the enormity of the love the two women shared from the day they first met to the day Vita learned of Virginia’s death - a love that remained every bit as alive even in her moving letter of condolence to Woolf’s husband. ![]() Theirs was a singular love that, like the protagonist of Woolf’s revolutionary novel inspired by Vita, shape-shifted fluidly as the years and decades wore on, morphing now into fervent passion, now into deep and delicate emotional intimacy, now into the most steadfast of friendships. Four years after the end of her turbulent decade-long romance with Violet Trefusis, the English poet, novelist, and landscape designer Vita Sackville-West became intensely infatuated with Virginia Woolf, ten years her senior. ![]() ![]() ![]() During the First World War, she worked at a hospital as a nurse later working at a hospital pharmacy, a job that influenced her work, as many of the murders in her books are carried out with poison. ![]() The Millers had two other children: Margaret Frary Miller (1879–1950), called Madge, who was eleven years Agatha's senior, and Louis Montant Miller (1880–1929), called Monty, ten years older than Agatha.īefore marrying and starting a family in London, she had served in a Devon hospital during the First World War, tending to troops coming back from the trenches. She is the creator of two of the most enduring figures in crime literature-Hercule Poirot and Miss Jane Marple-and author of The Mousetrap, the longest-running play in the history of modern theatre.Īgatha Mary Clarissa Miller was born in Torquay, Devon, England, U.K., as the youngest of three. According to Index Translationum, she remains the most-translated individual author, having been translated into at least 103 languages. Her books have sold over a billion copies in the English language and a billion in translation. She wrote 66 crime novels and story collections, fourteen plays, and six novels under a pseudonym in Romance. ![]() Agatha Christie also wrote romance novels under the pseudonym Mary Westmacott, and was occasionally published under the name Agatha Christie Mallowan.ĭame Agatha Mary Clarissa Christie is the best-selling author of all time. ![]() ![]() ![]() I also didn’t really connect with Graeme or Henley. ![]() ![]() It didn’t feel much like an enemies-to-lovers trope because only Henley seems to think they are enemies. Graeme and Henley’s relationship felt rushed and not quite fleshed out. However, the romance element where the book fell short for me. The book also focuses almost as much on elements outside the Graeme and Henley’s romance as it does the relationship itself. Shipped was a fun, light read – and much needed escape! I loved learning more about the Galapagos, and while the plot contained several predictable rom-com elements, the whole travel/cruise company element was something I hadn’t seen before in this genre. Henley and Graeme finally meet when they are sent on one of their company’s cruises to do research for their proposals- and the best proposal earns the promotion. The only thing standing in her way is her Graeme, a remote employee in her department who just so happens to be her biggest enemy. ![]() Shipped follows Henley, an ambitions career-driven woman who is considered for a huge promotion at the cruise company she works for. Aside from the adorable cover, I was initially drawn to this book when I saw that it was being marketed as The Unhoneymooners meets The Hating Game. ![]() ![]() While the minutes tick away, Langdon joins forces with Vittoria Vetra, a beautiful and mysterious Italian scientist, to decipher the labyrinthine trail of ancient symbols that snakes across Rome to the long-forgotten Illuminati lair - a secret refuge wherein lies the only hope for the Vatican. Yet somewhere within the walls of the Vatican, an unstoppable bomb of terrifying power relentlessly counts down to oblivion. ![]() In Rome, the college of cardinals assembles to elect a new pope. His baffling conclusion: that it is the work of the Illuminati, a secret brotherhood presumed extinct for nearly four hundred years - reborn to continue their bitter vendetta against their most hated enemy, the Catholic church. When a world renowned scientist is found brutally murdered in a Swiss research facility, a Harvard professor, Robert Langdon, is summoned to identify the mysterious symbol seared onto the dead man's chest. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() A useful book to add to the self-help section of the library.
