The Chocolate Lady (94 KP) rated Miss Benson's Beetle in Books

Oct 7, 2020

Even though the initial (UK) publication date of this book was pushed off to July, I couldn't wait to post my #bookreview of this lovely novel by one of my favorite authors. Once again, Joyce has given us characters who would not want you to love them, but you surely will despite them! Combine that with an adventure of discovery in New Caledonia and you've got a roller-coaster of a ride of emotions in store for you!

Suswatibasu (1701 KP) rated The Things I Would Tell You: British Muslim Women Write in Books

Oct 13, 2017

A multitude of wonderful voices

From Lebanon to Pakistan, there is a whole host of female Muslim voices in this wonderful pioneering collection.

Some of the stand out stories, essays and poems include a man reconnecting with art through a woman's eyes, to political stories about the apartheid state of Palestine, so-called "honour crimes", and the illegal war in Iraq. The writers involved are award-winning authors such as Kamila Shamsie, actors, and even a young 15 year old poet - all based in the UK.

It avoids stereotypes and instead advocates quite a humanist outlook on femininity - that a person is complex, with a full range of emotions rather than just the standard media portrayal. A wonderful plethora of diversity.
