A midlife crisis movie about an Icelandic woman. She is bored of her husband and her teenage daughter is causing her fits. Then a once-famous actor moves next door and her life gets a bump, but mostly stays stagnant. Her daughter can't stand her and rebels while every time she fails to control her emotions. Both develop a physical attachment to Hreinn, but there is no competition. Einar is a emotionally fatuous man.

"More recently celebrated for his masterpiece A Brief History of Seven Killings, James has created in this lesser known book a deeply personal view of Jamaican slavery. Set from a decidedly female perspective, The Book of Night Women takes you into domestic spaces, seduces you into understanding the very real conflicts and emotions behind charged and savage sexual encounters between slaves and masters, and dissects the negotiations of power within those relationships."

"I used to want ‘Primavera’ by Ludovico Einaudi played, but I realised it’s used on an advert for a horrible bank. I don’t want everyone sitting there in the pews thinking of fucking Santander! So now I want ‘Metamorphosis One’ by Philip Glass. I don’t want anything with lyrics. A beautiful piece of instrumental music communicates your emotions in a way words never can. ‘Metamorphosis One’ has a dry melancholy to it that’s also uplifting"

Its a tie between this book and the third in the series for my favorite book. The character development in this book is phenomenal. I fell in love with each of the characters making the emotions this book drags you through even more intense. I was on the edge of my seat experiencing fear, laughter, heartbreak and anxiety with each of the characters. I will forever recommend this series.

I- uh... idk what to even say about this one. Wow. You're best going into it with no information, thats what I did and I'm glad. The plot twists were incredible. I did figure one of them out about halfway through but the story is phenomenal. The writing style is different than anything I've read recently, but in a great way. The depictions of emotions were gripping. Really liked this one.

Just watched aty local Cineworld it's not bad very violent and Russell crowe gone full psycho a side of him we don't normally see in the movies for me the real star of the movie is Caren pistotius showing off her emotions as she slowly terrorised by crowe some of the violence was graphic but it was worth a couple of hours spent In the cinema

There are many mixed emotions with Our Ladies from comical moments that have you laughing loudly to the scenes that become more series as characters open their hearts to each other about things that have happened and what they should do, then there are moments that can produce that lonely tear. This film is certainly one that for me has been one of the best films I’ve seen this year (so far).
  
This book had a lot of meat to it, a lot to digest and think about as the story continues. It flowed well with the transition from the first book, picking up right where it left off at the beginning.
There’s a lot more development of the story, characters, what’s going on - you learn and understand quite a bit more as Everley continues her harrowing journey to reach her goals. Her goals and wishes seem to shift some in this part of the story as well and it brings others goals and stories more to light some.
Things get way more intense here in this book and it left me feeling a lot - so many emotions that I’m not sure what to do with them.
There are so many nods and spins and retellings on fairytale/ folklore stories/ stories I remember from my childhood etc, it’s fun and wild.
Even though this part of the series ended on a happy note, I have conflicting emotions about leaving this part of the story behind and I’m sad about parts of it too. I’m having a slight book hangover here and I’m nervous about what happens next when the end of this series comes out.
If you haven’t read the first in this series, Before the Broken Star then you need to get on that before you read this and get ready for some awesomeness mixed with all the emotions. You don’t want to miss this continuing adventure.
