not your average revolution.
more of a reimagined #BastilleDay but still has the spirit of 1789 through a modern San Francisco family.
It‘s messy, rebellious, & full of heart 🇫🇷
there‘s a chapter called The Tennis Court Oath which also happened in 1789.

In London about to go to a lavish garden party on an estate in the countryside.

HeartOfBabel
1985 | Anthony Burgess

A man filled with meat turns his back on the dry bones of political doctrine. Fanatical devotion to the ruling party comes more readily from materially deprived. Moreover, loyalty and what used to be called patriotism are best sustained when the enemy seems to be at the gates.

Not my first Bainbridge and not my favorite. It has her signature dark absurdist comedy, but somehow the characters fell a bit flat. Brenda you felt like you should pity, but she was just annoying. Freda was over the top, and yet pathetic. But the prose is solidly Bainbridge and I‘m not sorry I read it. Soft pick.

Ruthiella This was my first (and so far only) Bainbridge. What would you recommend I read next? 4d
Lcsmcat @Ruthiella I think Harriet Said is a better exploration of girls getting each other in trouble. But Injury Time is another good one. 4d
Ruthiella @Lcsmcat @rubyslippersreads Thanks! I will add those titles to my TBR! 4d
LeahBergen Ah! You‘ve reminded me to take a Bainbridge off my shelves. 👍 4d

Billypar This is so funny because just the other day I was watching old Ishiguro interviews about The Buried Giant, and he mentioned something about being in talks about a possible movie. But a lot of times that doesn't pan out, so good to hear it's moving forward and with del Toro too! 4d

Blue Sisters | Coco Mellors

Loved this! Blue Sisters isn‘t an easy-breezy summer read — it‘s about 3 sisters wading through their grief over losing the 4th — but it‘s certainly fast & (dare I say it?) addictive!

Such a tender & layered character study of imperfect people dealing with their pain, always with love at the center. If this sounds like it might be too much, please know that there are xylophone-playing chickens waiting near the end. It‘s not ALL tears & sobriety.

AmyG I thought this was a wonderful book. 6d
