Personal Opinion:

For those who have read the authors previous novel, Trinity, Trinity, Trinity ( Review coming up!) I would highly recommend on reading this collection of short stories, in particular to understand which ideas the author used and discarded in her quest for story. I think I definitely preferred the short stories, my two favorites are Radium Stones and the last story, about her visit to Forest of the Wild Birds. There is definitely something inhuman and sad about what nature touched the humans torched, and yes for those who desire to learn more about radiation and Japan in 20th century, then do read it. 

This was given for review 

4 out of 5
(0: Stay away unless a masochist 1: Good for insomnia 2: Horrible but readable; 3: Readable and quickly forgettable, 4: Good, enjoyable 5: Buy it, keep it and never let it go.)

Name of Book: Mozart's Wife Author: Juliet Waldron ISBN: 9781461109617 Publisher: Createspace Type of book: 1700s, Mozart, Konstanza, music, partying, drinking, Opera, debt, birth, Vienna, Austria, marriage, rock star status, destruction Year it was published: 2011 Summary: Jon Baxley, Editor of Amazing Authors Showcase says it all in his review. "This author's fictionalized account of Constanze Webber--an extraordinary woman who just happened to marry an even more extraordinary man named Mozart--brings 18th Century Vienna and its people vividly alive. Constanze would have been a remarkable woman for any era, struggling with her own perspective on life while trying to cope and understand the icon composer with whom she chose to share her life. But as an 18th Century woman, she is all the more remarkable. This book is well written and thoroughly researched, that's obvious from the details in dialogue and events. I suspect little of this work is pur...

If you partake of watching it, you are not worse nor better than I am. We are simply different than one another, and I don't see TV as pedestrian or opium for the masses or anything of the kind. (Am I dumb that I enjoy video games and have played RPG games in the past? Nope.) I grew up in the '90s, arriving as a religious ethnic minority from former So...

  Name of Book: From the Longing Orchard Author: Jessica Jopp ISBN: 978-1-59709-929-5 Publisher: Red Hen Press  Type of book: LGBtQIA+, art, 1970s-1980s, closeted, art projects, broken marriage, fears, nature, family, relationships, love, crushes, hidden traumas  Year it was published: 2023  Summary: Eighteen-year-old Sonya Hudson has been gripped by phobia since she was thirteen. What would make navigating the world so difficult for this budding visual artist? When the story opens, she lives with her mother and her sister in a suburb in New York in the late 1970s. The narrative carries us back through her childhood, where she struggles with the family’s frequent moving and with her parents’ increasingly fraught marriage. Lingering at the periphery of her consciousness is the shadow of a damaged boy she knew when she was very young. Reverence for the natural world provides comfort, as does her fierce attachment to her sister and her parents’ poignant guidance. But it...
