6/30/2023 0 Comments Maid by Stephanie Land![]() ![]() While never explicit, the reader walks away knowing the aching question at the center of this book- does it really have to be so hard? Instead, it is unfiltered and unapologetic in its representation of the many plights of the poor, the fact that social safety nets are more or less useless, and that it is in fact, assuredly not a work ethic problem. It begs them not to look away or dismiss the challenges of those in poverty as mere “laziness”. ![]() ![]() But it’s also about economic disparity it begs the question of the middle class and beyond. At its core, this is a compelling book that illustrates the lengths a parent will go for their child. This non-fiction work exposes the cracks in a crumbling system as it highlights the futile resources that are in place to “aid” those who need it most. Have a listen to Land’s brutal and desperate reflections as she writes about her years struggling to survive as she attempted to care for her young daughter. There’s a reason this one is a bestseller that’s been adapted into a raw and moving Netflix series. This audiobook is hard to listen to but harder to stop. ![]()

While the description seems to reveal only the bare outlines of the plot, this is a book I’ve heard so much about over the years, including from fellow bloggers and readers.

After the war, back in England, Jean decides to travel to Malaya once more to give back to the villagers who saved her life. ![]() ![]() Jean Paget is a young Englishwoman living in Malaya who is captured by the invading Japanese and finds herself on the death march.

The anime parts paths from the manga before Vol. 10 - 19, which is what I've read of the new material so far, I'd call it a four-plus stars rating - four stars for the plot developments, five stars for Lightning, and his gonzo mentor relationship with Bon. 16 for Light to get full traction.) For Vols. ![]() 10 an arresting new character was added, Lewin Light aka Lightning, who boosted the story up a whole level (and stole every scene he was in), and a new plot arc, ditto. 9 before, and thought it all merely OK starting in Vol. One year later: I revisited this recently, and found a number of volumes had been added. ![]() 6/27/2023 0 Comments The woodlanders book![]() Grace has misgivings prior to the marriage as she sees a village woman (Suke Damson) coming out of his cottage very early in the morning and suspects he has been sleeping with her.
