Do you read historical fiction?? A survival story set in era of Spanish civil war and Chilean dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet ,this book came highly recommended. A family is torn apart when they find themselves rooting for Republican Spain.The fractured family makes Chile their home.There, with great perseverance and sacrifices,Victor and Roser succeed in their chosen fields.Then comes the military dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet and the family is uprooted again.The book has a happy ending as the couple do return to their homeland ,Chile(and not Spain),and spend their last days there. What I 🤩😍😍 A brilliant portrayal of Chilean society,the do's and don'ts brought out by Victor and his relationship with Ofelia del Solar ,an heiress who came from an influential Chilean family.The whole del Solar clan was brought in to transport the reader to the heirarchial society. Roser with her determined and one track mind,her clarity in times of danger and uncertainty is awe-inspiring.Her relationship with Victor is so well written,the gradual progression from being friends to lovers never seemed forced or excessive. Carme, Victor's mother, her journey from Spain to Chile,from being a widow to finding love again,from sacrificing herself so as to not burden her children to finding her will to live is a tale deserving a separate book altogether. What I 🌠 were different Fitting in a life story and 2 of history's most impactful events in 300 something pages seemed cruel to me. The author went to great details in first half of the book and I felt transported to the world of Victor and Roser,the second half however felt too rushed.The dynamics of Chilean society after the military dictatorship was something I would have loved to read about... In all this is a good book,but I do recommend keeping your expectations not too high for the second half . #trappedinabookworldreviews ,#bookrecommendations ,#alongpetalofthesea ,#isabelallende ,#survivalstory ,#spanishcivilwar ,#chileanstories,#lovereadings ,#lovestory ,#bibliophile ,#bookreview ,#bookstagramindia ,#booksofinstagram ,#bookphoto ,#nonspoilerbookreview ,#novelsofinstagram ,#bookreview ,#booknerd ,#bookblog https://www.instagram.com/p/CTbQtxALfE_/?utm_medium=tumblr

Book 13 read in 2019: STORM OF LOCUSTS by Rebecca Roanhorse (2nd book in The Sixth World series). We're back in Dinétah with Maggie, the baddest bitch with a lightning sword and intimacy issues. It's still the end of the world. Monsters and gods still roam and need slaying. Trauma is still fucking us up. Who are we? Who do we trust? How do we trust? Will we survive? What the hell is up with all these bugs? I love this series. From the post apocalyptic world she's created, which is only a few steps away from the climate chaos we're already facing, to the Dine storytelling and culture, to the magic system, to the complexity of the characters and interpersonal relationships, I DIG IT ALL. #book #books #bookstagram #bookworm #booknerd #booklover #booksofinstagram #booksofig #bookaddict #bookish #bookstagrammer #bibliophile #novel #novels #novelsofinstagram #novelsofig #bookrecommendations #read #reader #ireadbooks #readingissexy #readingislife #readersofinstagram #readabook #readmore #bookreview #bookreviews #recommendabook #literature https://www.instagram.com/p/B12iTfBBnAc/?igshid=11hd0bjv5eq5n

My new colorful office carpet arrived yesterday! Woot! It completely transforms my space into somewhere I can feel myself and creative at last. #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #bookclub #novelsofinstagram #authorslife #amwriting #romancefiction #romancenovel #indiepub #mindfulness #womenwhowork #yourstoryisntoveryet #lifeisajourney #gettingittogether (at West Vancouver, British Columbia)

I finally made it up the mountain this morning. Challenged my body and cleared my mind. Almost 8.4 km, 12k steps, 116 flights of stairs (equivalent). It was nice to let my head wander back into story territory. Now I think I could actually write. Problem is I need a nap! #hikingadventures #tct #yvrhikes #womensfiction #bookclub #rwbookclub #novelsofinstagram #authorslife #amwriting #havingitall #romancefiction #romancenovel #booklaunch #indiepub #wellnessliving #healthliving #mindfulness #womenwhowork #yourstoryisntoveryet #lifeisajourney #gettingittogether #gratitude #payattention (at Brothers Creek Loop)
