I'm so impressed with this book. The writing is gorgeous, the sentences are so beautifully crafted and yet the words are not empty; they communicate so much we ordinary humans can't formulate even to ourselves in cogent ways.

My heart also aches with each chapter remembering dear Márcio who loved Virginia Woolf and the movie... You are missed, my friend! Such moving read, I'm in love with it.

Lauren is on page 50 of 498 of The Witches: Salem, 1692
Li os primeiros capítulos e já tive pesadelo com Salem. O.o

O que assusta não são as "bruxas", mas o lugar (pobre, frio, distante de tudo) e as pessoas (tão imersas naquele mundo sinistro de religiosidade fervorosa, medo constante da morte e repleto de seres malignos à espreita).
Será que a ficção de terror consegue bater a História? Difícil.

Lauren is starting Cry, the Beloved Country
Beautiful writing, I'm in awe so far. It expresses South Africa's pre-Apartheid sorrow and hope and relationship to its majestic land in such a tender way! Gorgeous.

This is such a great book for students of change, and continuity, of the costs of fighting for freedom - and the paths taken by the oppressors. I'm one-fourth of the way in and it reads as fiction with its twists and turns. Highly recommend!

Newton, o alquimista, deu origem a um mundo mecanicista tão diferente dele mesmo. As maravilhas da não-ficção :)
