Any child who has had to speak in public will identify with Zoleka's fear of saying her Bible verse in front of the whole church on Palm Sunday. We see her practicing during the week, "Bavumeleni abantwana beze kum." Only on Sunday do we English readers learn that the verse is Jesus' words inviting the little children to come to him. The setting is a small rural town. The church could be Anglican.
** spoiler alert ** The ending was where the story begun for me (somewhere around 165 or so). If it didn't get heated soon, I'd would have skimmed through to finish with 'okay read'. Some parts of the book was hard to believe a black woman like Sheree would not muster the strength to leave sooner or cuss this man out and accept being secretive while he's prowling with Kelly (blonde). Sheree easily cusses with her sister, Coach Kevin, and her diary/journal about Matthew but waited until the end to share what she wanted to do--all talk and no action. If the chapters would have started from the ending chapters and add more depth to the relationship; how she met Matthew, gave birth to his child, and married a couple months later (which you find out these tidbits at the ending chapters). *This is one reason as an author myself, I do so many revisions and rewrites. Move chapters. Delete. Start over, etc. The concept of the storyline was intriguing but some parts for me was unbelievable if the sista snapped with others and her journal versus with who was causing her hurt, disappoints, and loneliness. Not sure why a woman would marry someone who kept them locked in the house and not even know the neighbors without early signs of abuse to show his dominance or controlling power. This would have highlighted the story more where the reader can see he had some kind-of-control over her to keep her sheltered but earlier readings didn't show that Sheree was as weak as she acted in the beginning and middle chapters. Her investigation was only going to the job and family's house, which she should have done before marrying this man for example--at least family regardless of Matt's explanation of why she couldn't. This felt like an arraignment than a marriage. Is there a sequel since it ended abruptly. 2.5/3 stars.

I'm probably rounding up a bit on this one, because the end - I won't spoil it - is a little too easy, but I enjoyed the crap out of this book. I haven't read much spy fiction, other than another Le Carre novel, so this was a fun new thing. From what I've read, this might be the top of the spy novel heap, though, which would mean everything from here on out will be a disappointment, but I had a very good time with Alec Leamas and company. The slightly-nihilistic vision of spycraft definitely hit the spot, and the way everything seemed to take place on cold, foggy nights in long sreetlights' shadows was just what I was looking for.
Okay, I started reading this when I was half-way through JEalousy and I was sick and Planning my birthday party so a couple bits didnt sink in. SO i re-read and I must say it is hinting at being just as good as the reviews. I got hooked on this author and her style of writing, which i can only describe as involving and folk lore classic worthy. FIrst THe Demon King Captured my heart with Han, Dancer, Raisa and Amon. ANd now I'm falling for Jack Swift, such a clever name, and his freinds. I love authors who are so excellant at writing from the view of the opposite sex and DONT make them our dream mate. FOr that i offer a BRavo! ANd I must say I do like Jessamine, a dark villian with deffinite hints at horrible vilance. But I cant get enough of her. Like AUnt Linda she is an intriguing woman who though a side character you want to know more about. ALso I must add i do like the geaneaology aspect. As it is a thing I'm interested in. Such a clever use of it, and an un-usual aspect of a story. I cant wait to see what happens next.

These essays are of a more personal nature than I expected when starting this book. They are thoughtful, often insightful, and sometimes rambly, all of which is excellent and makes for a good read in my world. Because they are often unflattering to the first-person narrator, they also come across as honest, another thing that helps keep us firmly on the side of the narrator--it's hard to walk away from all that juicy disclosure. A couple of D'Ambrosio quotes that caught my attention: "The whisper and hiss and cranky dyspeptic sputter of a Coleman is as distinct and holy a music as the rev of a Harley. I like the celestial quality of the light, Venusian and green, the rounded simplicity of the mantle, the paint job, of course, and the way one sounds when swung by the bail." "In fact he was an emphatic person the way other people are tenors or baritones, and because I had the window seat and felt trapped I began to get buggy. Everything he said stuck to my skin." "The Crime That Never Was," "Orphans," and "Documents" stood out as my favorites of the bunch, although "Mary Kay Letourneau," "Whaling," "Hell House," and "Biosquat" were all good, too. There are a few other essays here that are already fading for me, but I don't remember any of them being dull while I was reading, so this probably just means they didn't strike me as much as the ones I do remember clearly, not that they weren't also good essays themselves. There's a lot of isolation in these, explorations of different ways of being alone in the world. "Documents" in particular is heartbreaking, partly a view into strained father/son relationships and partly about how families deal with a tragedy that has affected the family as a unit and each member individually and how the different stories each person involved has to tell themselves to move through the tragedy can't always coexist. My one sticking point by the end of the collection is that the tone and voice and cadence is similar between all of these essays (with the possible exception of "Documents," which has a slightly different format and that may be one reason it left such a strong impression on me) so that, by the end, they start to sound too much the same.

One of the most challenging books I have read on discipleship. Notable ideas in the book are "the secret devotional life" and the warning against "cheap grace." Must read!
