Kehinde Wiley recommended The Book of Night Women in Books (curated)

 
The Book of Night Women
The Book of Night Women
Marlon James | 2014 | Fiction & Poetry

Book Favorite

"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."

Movie Rating
Life in a high-rise tower falls into chaos after frequent power outages create a clash between the classes. The film was based upon the book by the same name by JG Ballard. There were obvious differences from book to movie, but the changes made sense. Tom Hiddleston did a good job as Laing, and Luke Evans was savage as Wilder. The score of the film set the perfect tone, and Portishead's cover of SOS was on point.

War is bad mmkay?
The idea behind The Heroes was good, the battle between the supposedly savage Northmen and the civilised, yet incompetent imperial troops. Abercrombie can sure write an excellent battle scene, and some superbly crafted characters, on both sides.
Altogether though I felt this book a little dragged out, and the whole "war is pointless" message a little forced home.
Of the 3 follow-on books from the main trilogy this is my least favourite.
