The deceptive farmer called the land in the hills the bottom of heaven, and thus the neighborhood acquired its name. The neighborhood was called the Bottom because a white farmer, rather than give his freed slave the land he had been promised, lied to the man and told him that the land in the hills was more valuable. The story of the neighborhood unfolds years after it has ceased to exist. Sula begins with the story of an African-American neighborhood that once existed on the periphery of a town called Medallion. Sula confronts issues of loyalty, family, assimilation, innocence, gender, and sexuality, but is at its heart an examination of the priorities that determine the character, quality, and relationships of a woman’s lifetime. As children, the two girls in question, Sula Peace and Nel Wright, function as two halves of a whole, often seeming to complete each other in opposition.Īs they reach and achieve maturity, the differences in the girls’ responses to the pressure to conform to the norms of their community separate them and split their bond, which is not reconciled until the end of the novel. Like The Bluest Eye, the novel is a story of two girls coming of age. Sula (1974) is Toni Morrison’s second published novel. Sloan worked this well into the storyline and I enjoyed how she recovered it. I fell in love with all the characters, found myself routing for opening night, and was taken aback when it didn't all fall into place near the end as you may think a YA novel would. Not just the short kid, Julia also appears to have some learning differences. She IS the voice of Julia as a kid growing up, just trying to make sense of the world as she knows it. If I didn't know any better, Holly Goldberg Sloan went back in time with her current writing prowess and wrote this when she was a preteen. Why? It's a book I wouldn't have purchased for myself in store or online, but once I started reading an advance copy from a librarian friend, I fell in love with it and didn't want it to end. the book is always better than the movie). So, I give a standing ovation for this book, which has reinforced my never ending love of libraries (as did Inkheart. You can widen your genre or stick to your comfort zone - all at no cost - the world is wide open to you in a library. You can flip through books in a brick and mortar store, but sometimes the thought of shelling out hard-earned money for what's in your hands just changes your mind for you. Sure buying e-books and online can be cheap and delivered straight to your hands, but a library is a special place. A bit off topic for a book review is why libraries and librarians are so important.

Possum Magic has captivated and enchanted children and adults. She met an Australian soldier, Sergeant Joe Harman, also a prisoner, who was driving a lorry for the Japanese and they became friends with disastrous consequences. Able to speak Malay and being courageous and resourceful, she takes on the role of the leader of their group. Jean and a group of European women and children were forced by the Japanese to walk for hundreds of miles from place to place before finally managing to stay in one village. The second part is about that time in Malaya during the War at the time when the Japanese invaded the island. She tells Noel about what had happened to her in Malaya. She wonders what to do with the money and eventually decides she wants to go back to Malaya, where she had been a prisoner of war, to dig a well. Until then she will receive about £900 a year to spend. But it is held in trust until she reaches the age of thirty five. It begins a few years after the Second World War, when he tells her she has inherited a considerable sum of money from her uncle. Narrated by Noel Strachan, a solicitor, this is the story of Jean Paget. It is actually set in three parts, with just the third part set in Australia, not in Alice Springs but in Willstown, a fictional town in the outback. It was not quite what I had imagined it to be, about Alice Springs in Australia. First published in 1950 A Town Like Alice by Nevil Shute is one of those books I’ve been meaning to read for years and now I have at last read it. Quintanilla Cobián Laura Rodríguez Fernández R.
