Drew's Story
Aww, this was like coming home and catching up with family you haven't seen in ages. In this novella, you find out what happened in Drew's life. Also great to catch up with Jesse the peanut butter eating, very demanding, countdown starting, family man.

Loved this debut novel, not only did I feel as though the story was one never quite told like this I really loved the way it captured real grief and how it can tear a family apart or bring them together and now race/gender is something that almost always impacts a persons life and outlook on things, especially in a mixed race family in the early 60s.

Rick Nielsen recommended The Godfather (1972) in Movies (curated)

 
The Godfather (1972)
The Godfather (1972)
1972 | Crime, Drama

"Number one is The Godfather. The Godfather, for me, is because it represented family. Even though this family was on the opposite side of the law, and they were criminals at the end of the day, they were family, struggling, an immigrant family in America trying to find their ground. One of the most compelling scenes to me in The Godfather — it happens in Godfather II, actually — is when Vito Corleone is young, and he comes home to his wife, and all he has is an apple. He rubs it, polishes it, and puts it on the table, and they appreciated it. You know, that is very powerful to me. Those films resonated with me throughout the rest of my life because of the family values they instilled."

Stark look at Norwegian rural life
A wonderful and bleak look into Norwegian farm life and the difficulties faced daily trying to adhere to modern life. There are plenty of tragedies in the Barroy family, but they seem to deal with the toil to the best of their abilities.

The translation may have obscured some of the dialogue, which seemed like it was set in Scotland rather than Scandinavia but the writing is sharp and descriptive without over cluttering the main plot.
