Pause by Sara Stamey

Posted

Title: Pause 
Author: Sara Stamey

A thought provoking story with realistic characters bringing hope and inspiration - it’s never too late to live the life you wanted but someone else decided you shouldn’t.  

Growing up with a physically abusive dad, Lindsey tried to get her mother to leave him, but she always stayed insisting he was a ‘good provider’. Later on when Lindsey gets married to Nick, she learns that not all abuse is physical and that as much damage, if not more, can be done with words. 

Finally divorced, Lindsey is trying to regain her self respect by getting her life back on track again. Step by step we follow her as she discovers friendship and perhaps love again, how she develops as a woman (hot flushes and all!) and how sometimes alone is better than lonely in a relationship.

Thank you to NetGalley and Book View Cafe for allowing me to read this eARC. The book will be published on 2 November 2021.

Den som dödade helvetets änglar by Jan Guillou

Posted
"Den som dödade helvetets änglar by Jan Guillou" - freely translated as " The one who killed the angels in hell". A bit late to reading this, but what a treat!!!  His language is beautiful, the connections to true events and living people are spot on, and the criticism of governments thought-provoking and necessary in a democratic-ish society.  Written in a completely different style to his other Hamilton and Ponti books i loved this one! I’ve already got the next one downloaded and will hopefully be in for another treat.  This book is so far only available in Swedish - unfortunately similar to most of Guillou's fabulous books!
