![]() ![]() Read Full Review >Īdept at magical realist fiction, Ozeki ensouls the world. Clever without being arch, metafictional without being arcane, dark without being nihilistic, The Book of Form and Emptiness is an exuberant delight. Ozeki’s playfulness and zaniness, her compassion and boundless curiosity, prevent the novel from ever feeling stiff or pretentious. But its heart, its ardent, beating heart, is huge. The Book of Form and Emptiness is charming and warm, dynamic and filled with love, but over-full and a bit undisciplined. A library is one of the novel’s most enchanted settings, at once a refuge from the cacophony of objects that overwhelms Benny at home and in school and a magical portal to a world of self-discovery and unexpected connections. ![]() The most endearing aspect of Ozeki’s novel is its unabashed celebration of words, writing, and reading. ambitious and ingenious novel that presents a stinging exploration of grief, a reflection on our relationship to objects, a potent testament to the importance of reading, writing, and books. ![]()

His own reputation is impeccable-and the last thing he needs is a frustrating, fascinating woman discovering the truth of his past, or the secrets he holds close. Henry Carrington, Duke of Clayborn, has spent a lifetime living in perfection and has no time for the scandals that arise every time Adelaide ends another groom. Raised among London’s most notorious criminals, a twist of fate landed Adelaide Frampton in the bright ballrooms of Mayfair, where she masquerades as a quiet wallflower-so plain and unassuming that no one realizes she’s the Matchbreaker…using her superior skills as a thief to help unwilling brides avoid the altar, all while hiding her own scandalous past. Bestselling author Sarah MacLean follows her highly acclaimed Bombshell with Heartbreaker, featuring a fierce, fearless heroine on a mission to steal a duke’s secrets…and his heart. ![]() 7/6/2023 0 Comments Inappropriate by vi keeland![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Sort of like the video that got me into trouble to begin with.

He himself had been a victim of the revisionist attitudes propagated in the 1920s and 1930s.
