Shocking, terrifying look at state sponsored slavery of women in the future
Having read this at a girl's school, The Handmaid's Tale is a truly frightening dystopian novel highlighting the state's control over women's bodies. The most worrying aspect of the novel is that parts of it rings true around the world today.

"This novel will shatter those who are ready for it, ready for Dostoevsky’s courage to plunge into the abyss of human cruelty, and his wisdom at locating what grace there is. This is a novel of ultimate destruction and grace. It has in it the whole lived world, also heaven, also hell."

Nellie Bly was possibly the world's first under-cover, investigative journalist - both male or female - and her story is well worth investigating through this intense biographical, historical fiction novel "What Girls are Good For: A Novel of Nelly Bly" by David Blixt. <br/>https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2019/01/11/a-female-journalistic-pioneer/

This novel is stunningly lyrical and limned (to "depict or describe in painting or words" or "suffuse or highlight (something) with a bright color or light") story of storms and life in 21st Century New York. Read my review of this amazing novel here. https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2015/05/23/literary-impressionism/
  
Sequel to Sean Thomas Russels' "Under Enemy Colours", again following the adventures of Captain Charles Hayden aboard the frigate Themis

As before, a large portion of the novel details one particular mission, 'bookended' by events in England. Most - not all - of the characters from the first novel reappear, alongside some new faces and historical personages as Russell continues to build on his previous work. While the novel does occasionally flounder, this is syill an enjoyable read and a worthy successor to that earlier work.
