Disappointing (3/20/2022)
Received free to read and review- it was the “daughter trying to establish her own identity” genre- trying to separate herself from her mother and ultimately coming to terms with it - some of the writing to describe the insights were very well done but, to me, lacklustermore

Daughters of Smoke and Fire: A Novel
by Ava Homa
To the Author: Objective Achieved (9/26/2021)
Beautiful, painful book. I knew nothing of the history of the Kurds. I heard you Ava Homa. You have made one more human aware, which was your objective - I will share this book with others to spread the knowledge. My words sound so inconsequential but that’s how it happens.
The Girl in His Shadow
by Audrey Blake
Thoroughly Enjoyed! (4/15/2021)

Consumption

Consumption (11/28/2007)
The writing is excellent - I can "feel" the cold of the Arctic and sense these people's way of life - the pull of more modern society - the clutching to old ways. I'm buying a copy for friends and family for Christmas this year.
