Description
When A Single Man was originally published, it shocked many by its frank, sympathetic, and moving portrayal of a gay man in midlife. George, the protagonist, is adjusting to life on his own after the sudden death of his partner, and determines to persist in the routines of his daily life: the course of A Single Man spans twenty-four hours in an ordinary day. An Englishman and a professor living in suburban Southern California, he is an outsider in every way, and his internal reflections and interactions with others reveal a man who loves being alive despite everyday injustices and loneliness. Wry, suddenly manic, constantly funny, surprisingly sad, this novel catches the texture of life itself.

City of Veils
by Zoe Ferraris
It is rare that a follow-up book is better than the first, but as much
as I really enjoyed Ferraris’ first Saudi Arabia mystery, Finding Nouf,
the second one is even better. The main characters are Nayir, a devout
Muslim desert guide, and Katya, a forensic analyst caught in the dilemma
that is Saudi’s policing system - there is strong disapproval of women
who have jobs, but men are not allowed to interview female suspects or touch
female corpses; there must, therefore, be female police officers and
analysts, but women shouldn’t have jobs… read the rest of Lillian's review.
Bitter in the Mouthby Monique Truong
I have to confess: I may not have read this novel if I hadn’t been invited to meet the author, despite all the great things I heard about Truong’s previous novel, The Book of Salt. I should just tell myself to stop thinking and just start reading because oh, am I glad I am read this! The narrator, Linda, has synesthesia that makes her taste words as she hears and speaks them...read the rest of Tegan's review
