![]() ![]() The novel is narrated by Antoinette (Bertha’s real name) and Rochester. England and France are the two most powerful colonisers competing for new colonies, while Spanish Colonisers are history and many other formerly lucrative estates are in decline because there is no exploited labour and a fall in the sugar market. The Emancipation Act has been passed which freed the slaves but compensated the owners for their ‘loss’. ![]() Bertha is a Creole – a naturalised West Indian of European descent. Rhys imagines the time when Rochester met Bertha. The novel is set in 1800 explores the complex social and racial history of the West Indies along with sexualised racism and issues related to Victorian paternalism. It is a powerful cry of rage against racial injustice and a crippling revelation of personal sadism. In the process, she also humanises Brontë’s grotesque creation, the archetypal, and extremely symbolic figure of the ‘mad woman in the attic’. Rhys in her novel points towards a horrifying reality that may lie behind a man’s claim that a woman in ‘mad’. ![]() It is a response to Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre, specifically its visceral treatment of Mr. Jean Rhys’s canonical work the Wide Sargasso Sea, written in 1960 portrays the tendency of racial and sexual exploitation deeply rooted in the heart of Western civilization and literature.

![]() Also, unlike Fitzgerald who, due to publishing and moral standards of the day, had to hide certain core themes through hints and innuendo, Cantor has greater freedom to discuss and address various topics that are pivotal to the characters-such as same sex attraction, and domestic violence. Although she uses many of the same characters, Cantor does not try to emulate Fitzgerald's writing style. At first, I was surprised by just how different this one was to the classic novel that it is based on. I've read, and studied, The Great Gatsby on more than one occasion and it's a story that has both intrigued and frustrated me in equal parts. First is Daisy Buchanan nee Fay, the object of Gatsby's obsession, her cousin golfer Jordan Baker and finally we have Catherine McCoy, a new character, a suffragette who is the sister of the ill-fated Myrtle Wilson.Ĭantor takes the stories of Daisy, Jordan and Catherine and weaves them into a feminist tale of how their lives are shaped by the men around them, whether they be past lovers, cheating men or abusive husbands, and what they finally do about it-and get away with much to the ire of the investigating police officer. ![]() Scott Fitzgerald's classic novel The Great Gatsby and re-imagines and retells the story from the perspective of three different women who are all linked to Jay Gatsby in some way. ![]() ![]() ![]() In Beautiful Little Fools, author Jillian Cantor takes F.

His incarceration has clarified his feelings for her, but convincing the infuriating woman he wants to marry her is going to be his greatest challenge yet. He's also vowed to claim the winner's prize-three kisses-in the bet he made with his long-time nemesis, the prickly, smart-mouthed Harriet Montgomery. Shipwrecked and imprisoned thanks to an incorrect map, Captain Morgan Davies has returned to London to exact sweet revenge on the cartographer responsible for his suffering. ![]() If there's one thing impossible for a Davies to resist, it's a challenge from a Montgomery. ![]() A Wicked Game marks the third book in Kate Bateman's popular regency romance series, Ruthless Rivals. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I guess I just have the settle for the hot erotica, bummer man Honestly they the kinda characters I would read their POV in a longer more adventure type book. The characters were dynamic, both great in their own unique personalities and their chemistry when they are together. “That’s it, baby, be still for me.” He kept his thrusts shallow and leisurely, licking his claiming mark and liking her answering tremor. Then abruptly he plunged a long finger inside her, addressing that aching emptiness, and she practically liquefied against the wall, moaning. This book was pipping hot, I'm talking steam pouring outta each page Our love interest, Trey is a sexy, dirty talking, fighting alpha who honestly might be little crazy. I was gawking while reading this book and actually started cry- laughing so hard that my roommates were CONCERNED for my mental being “Hey, I have a suggestion, why not put a condom over your head – if you’re going to act like a complete dick then it makes sense to dress like one.” But that doesn't stop her from being a total kickass sassy heroine who honestly has some of the greatest witty liners I have ever read Taryn is a wolf but struggles to actually transform. And sure the cover looks like an 8th grader's attempt at a collage with all the elements copied and pasted next to each other but it gets the message of the book across so I'll allow it ![]() This was an AWESOME wolf romance that I thoroughly enjoyed wayyy 2 much. Theres shapeshifters and then theres SHAPESHIFTERSSSS ![]() ![]() ![]() Heartburn is a roller coaster of love, betrayal, loss and - most satisfyingly - revenge. Food sometimes is, though, since Rachel is a cookery writer, and between trying to win Mark back and wishing him dead, she offers us some of her favourite recipes.

Heartburn is the perfect, bittersweet, sobbingly funny, all-too-true confessional novel' Nigella Lawson Seven months into her pregnancy, Rachel discovers that her husband is in love with another woman. ![]() 'I have bought more copies of this book to give to people, in a frenzy of enthusiasm, than any other. ![]() |
