In a desperate attempt to preserve his identity, he sets out to (somewhat faithfully) record the most formative moments of his life-ranging from the brutal murder of his childhood girlfriend, to a diagnosis of rapid-cycling bipolar disorder, to opening for famed indie band Yo La Tengo at The Fillmore in San Francisco.

I know this feeling will only last for so long it never stays. And as I now reflect on the story as a whole, I am in total awe of the skilful way it was told, peeled off layer by layer, making me realise that every deceptively random scene had a set purpose in the big picture that is the story of Andrew and Aubrey. ![]() Normally not a great fan of serials due to my inherently impatient nature, this story crushed all my biases and made the anticipation of the rest of the series so deliciously addictive, I think the wait was half the fun. ![]() It doesn’t happen too often that I become consumed with a story from the very first page, something in the writing style and the voice of the characters grabbing me instantaneously, but from the moment I opened the first book, I was obsessed. ![]() ![]() The events that follow when he and Leo are sent on a mission to discover who runs the Thresl slave ring King Vohne has discovered only serve to deepen Zander's resolve. It is this threat that makes Zander realize maybe it's time to stand up to his father and become his own man. Zander loves the catlike being though, human shape or not, and they already share a mental bond, so that is out of the question. Well, not until his father started to threaten that his Thresl might need to move on since they still have not bonded after two years. He comes from a rich family with high expectations for him to do well, and has never even thought about rebelling. ![]() Zander is a diplomat through and through. Usually, the Thresl assumes human form fairly quickly after they meet their mate, so this was a nice variation and offered some additional understanding of the Thresl psyche. ![]() The central relationship between Zander and Leo is different than the previous ones, since Leo refuses to shift for the longest time. In this third book, my understanding of their abilities and needs deepened, and a very dark plot, hinted at in earlier books, is finally exposed. ![]() ![]() The culture and abilities of the Thresl continue to fascinate me. ![]() ![]() The girls at his elite prep school line up to date him, the guys want to be him, but Reed never gave a damn about anyone but his family until Ella Harper walked into his life.

![]() ![]() On trips further south, to Mississippi, Tennessee and Florida itself, I started to ask people in their 70s and older – not black people, but white people – what it was like to grow up in the era of segregation. His parents are immigrants from Pakistan. ![]() ![]() A neighbour who lives in one of the older houses in the area told me that the deeds for his house contain a clause forbidding its sale to non-whites. Following Brown v Board of Education in 1954, Virginia successfully opposed desegregating schools for decades. Yet in Virginia, at the time of my birth, my parents (one white, one black) would have been forbidden to marry. Virginia wasn’t Alabama, wasn’t Florida – the setting for Whitehead’s novel. I didn’t really worry, because to me Virginia didn’t seem particularly southerly. When I first came to live in Virginia four years ago, friends made jokes, with raised eyebrows, about how we were moving “to the South”. I n the final pages of Colson Whitehead’s forceful and tightly wrought novel, Millie, new partner to the main character, recalls: “It was hard to remember sometimes how bad it used to be – bending to a colored fountain when she visited her family in Virginia, the immense exertion white people put into grinding them down – and then it all returned in a rush, set off by tiny things, like standing on a corner trying to hail a cab … by the big things, a drive through a blighted neighborhood snuffed out by that same immense exertion, or another boy shot dead by a cop.” ![]() ![]() How can they build a new world when people are so deeply wounded by the old?

Healer Madrone struggles to repair the wounds of war and deprivation. But they’ll be back, unless the northerners can liberate the Southlands first. When the ruthless Stewards of the Southlands invade, the people of Califia defeat them using nonviolence and magic. Yet amidst the ruins stands a green and flourishing city where four things are sacred-Air, Fire, Water, and Earth. In the violent, desperate world of 2048, eco-catastrophes and societal breakdown have left the country splintered. Cover art for City of Refuge by Jessica PerlsteinĮvery city needs three things: a plaza, a hearth, and a sacred tree… ![]() ![]() Christopher goes missing, and for one terrifying week, Kate is beside herself with fear and worry. It is her hope that Mill Grove would be the start of a new life for both her and seven-year-old Christopher.īut then came a nightmare for any parent. Kate has been on the run for a long time after the death of her husband, she fell into a relationship with a man who turned out to be abusive and has been trying to get away from him since. Mostly following central characters Kate Reese and her son Christopher, Imaginary Friend begins with the two of them settling in the small town of Mill Grove, Pennsylvania. Like everyone else, I dove into this one with no clue as to what to expect, though the synopsis gave some hints. I’ve never read Stephen Chbosky’s The Perks of Being a Wallflower which was the book that really put him on the map, but I’m familiar enough with it to know Imaginary Friend is quite a departure.
