ania loomba never fails to deliver. the first essay being abt marital law is so special they did that for me personally

need to see this adapted into a film so bad

like my 4th thriller-leaning novel in 2026 after my only interactions w the genre in yearsss have been a couple georgette heyer books & like. rivers solomon if you squint.....years and years since agatha christie, even. anyway bc of childhood familiarity i think i have the unfortunate tendency to approach thrillers the way most ppl approach hetromance but i will try to be nicer this time while also enjoying myself.

im trying to be objective abt the info & the implications of its delivery but well objectively this is too much usa for me in one dose to tolerate. so close to the end & then i can complain abt how the awesome comparison of 1950s denial abt domestic dissatisfaction and denial-based "containment policy toward the Soviet Union," is nearly friendless in its insightfulness. more of this plz !!!

quick and shallow read but im having so much fun. lack of ML-ism but not every nonfiction book can be "tea war: a history of capitalism in china & india" or "full surrogacy now". still, an interesting look into how interpersonal labor relations fit into, & have been shaped by, changes in institutional labor relations & political economies. marriage is so scary & important yay. marriage abolition now & forever

i'm having so much fun but idk if this is doing what i want it to do...why r social & economic relations treated as separable (if interdependent). & then you have lines like this: "Marriage was still an authority relationship as much as a personal one." when subsequent passages abt christian rhetoric & social norm make it clear that the authority rship IS the personal one. i have more to say but. character limit lol

third time's the charm

gorgeous writing!!! bub's pov 💔🩵

i love the writing style and the narrator but the book itself is lacking :( too obvious. not in the colonialism talks but in the framing.....it falls short....i just would like it to be a little denser
