It’s a portrait of the artist as she finds a language - original, allergic to euphemism and therapeutic banalities - worthy of the women that raised her. The book is propelled by Gornick’s attempts to extricate herself from the stifling sorrow of her home - first through sex and marriage, but later, and more reliably, through the life of the mind, the “glamorous company” of ideas. That fearlessness suffuses this book she stares unflinchingly at all that is hidden, difficult, strange, unresolvable in herself and others - at loneliness, sexual malice and the devouring, claustral closeness of mothers and daughters. When Gornick’s father died suddenly, she looked in the coffin for so long that she had to be pulled away. It has taken me 30 years to understand how much of them I understood.” “I absorbed them as I would chloroform on a cloth laid against my face. “I remember only the women,” Vivian Gornick writes near the start of her memoir of growing up in the Bronx tenements in the 1940s, surrounded by the blunt, brawling, yearning women of the neighborhood, chief among them her indomitable mother.

And we have to say, it was a good year for lesbian fiction! Here at Ylva we love to start a new year not only by setting goals for the next twelve months, but also by looking back at our past year and seeing all that we accomplished. The fact that it was an “oops, we got married” romance just made it all the more fun and honestly really sweet. I absolutely fell for Charli and Neal in Bombshells which was why I could not wait to get my hands on their story in Shenanigans. I love Bowen’s Bruisers hockey romance series, but let me tell you, I’m loving these Bombshell women and this crossover series that gives all the shenanigans between Bruisers and Bombshells. Just when I thought I couldn’t possibly fall for another hockey duo, she gives me Neal and Charli – swoon. Sarina Bowen writes the best hockey romance books and she scores yet again with Shenanigans!

Thunderball was eyed initially among the first nine novels as the one worthy of becoming the first movie adaptation. The novel is primarily Fleming’s own detailed, descriptive Bond character study, but with a twist: The story ideas are a combination of scenes created and introduced in screenplay drafts by two other writers. Thunderball–the word itself conjures James Bond–the meaning of the word as an atomic bomb mushroom cloud has taken a backseat to Ian Fleming’s ninth spy novel from 1961, and the fourth Bond movie that filled theaters for Christmas 1965. |
