Ian's review
of
Barren Lands: An Epic Search for Diamonds in the North America Arctic:
"This book was originally published in 2001, and this updated version in 2016. Broadly speaking it tells of the lead-up to the opening of the Ekati diamond mine in Canada’s Northwest Territories in 1998. Not only was I miles behind the curve in readin"

Thanks for a fine review, Ian. The Oakcrest might echo this theme.

"This 1951 novel was adapted for the cinema, with the film being released in 1953. The film is considered a classic and I’ve watched it a couple of times. It follows the book reasonably closely, although it misses out some of the more gruesome scenes."

Freeing yourself was one thing; claiming ownership of that freed self was another. Devastating, distressing, a book to be read with care because the stories it tells are harrowing and terrible. I could write about Morrison's exemplary use of motifs" Read more of this review » |

“I have always been a man of peace. I have always denounced the man who strove to tamper with an oppressed people by any appeal to physical force. I have always said that moral force was the degree of deliberation in each man's mind which told him when submission was a duty or resistance not a crime; and that a true application of moral force would effect every change, but in case it should fail, physical force would come to its aid like an electric shock — and no man could prevent it; but that he who advised or attempted to marshal it would be the first to desert it at the moment of danger. God forbid that I should wish to see my country plunged into horrors of physical revolution. I wish her to win her liberties by peaceful means.”

“Were women being confined yet again to that alabaster pedestal so beloved of the Victorian age, when Woman as better-than-man gave men a license to be gleefully and enjoyably worse than women, while all the while proclaiming that they couldn’t help it because it was their nature? Were women to be condemned to virtue for life, slaves in the salt-mines of goodness?”

“The great French historian Ernest Renan in the late 1880s denied that a nation was based on ethnicity and language or blood-and-soil nationality. His argument was that a nation consists of people who have a collective shared sentiment and that sentiment is based on myth and history and a series of symbols and markers of identity. There is a constant referendum going as to whether that sentiment still exists in the union. Renan’s concept of a nation is that it can be ephemeral; it’s not there forever, it is not a permanency as it varies according to circumstances. This is a very intriguing parallel with what’s going on in the UK today.”
