Myfavorite read in 2024A polyphonic multilayered book. It describes Haida oral literature; it tells the story of the Haida people of the pacific Northwest; and how their works were retold by a US anthropologist in his 190-1901 fieldwork. At one and the same time an excavation of a colonial encounter, a literary study and an anthological detective story. The Haida stories are magical., disturbing and weird. Impossible to classify and difficult to put down.

ByAnn O’LoughlinWhy am I passionate about this? I am fascinated by the extraordinary things ordinary people do, particularly women. Women show such strength; they juggle so many things every day, and they can draw on huge reserves of power in a crisis. Time and time again, I see how when women pull together, they can conquer anything. A woman on her own can do many things, but when we band together, nothing can stop us.

PixThe Nightingale is a gripping historical fiction novel set during World War II in France. It follows the journey of two sisters and their experiences during the war. One of the sisters, Isabelle, becomes a fearless rebel and works as a courier while on the run. This book beautifully captures the strength and resilience of women, making it a great choice for a story about a female runaway.
