Kirabo’s journey to reconcile her rebellious origins, alongside her desire to reconnect with her mother and to honor her family’s expectations, is rich in the folklore of Uganda and an arresting exploration of what it means to be a modern girl in a world that seems determined to silence women. Nsuuta also explains that Kirabo has a streak of the “first woman” an independent, original state that has been all but lost to women. Seeking answers, Kirabo begins spending afternoons with Nsuuta, a local witch, trading stories and learning not only about this force inside her, but about the woman who birthed her, who she learns is alive but not ready to meet. Complicating these feelings of abandonment, as Kirabo comes of age she feels the emergence of a mysterious second self, a headstrong and confusing force inside her at odds with her sweet and obedient nature. In her thirteenth year, Kirabo confronts a piercing question that has haunted her childhood: who is my mother? Kirabo has been raised by women in the small Ugandan village of Nattetta - her grandmother, her best friend, and her many aunts-but the absence of her mother follows her like a shadow.

As Cahill delightfully illustrates, so much of the liveliness we associate with medieval culture has its roots in Ireland. Not only did Irish monks and scribes maintain the very record of Western civilization - copying manuscripts of Greek and Latin writers, both pagan and Christian, while libraries and learning on the continent were forever lost - they brought their uniquely Irish world-view to the task. Without Ireland, the transition could not have taken place. In this entertaining and compelling narrative, Thomas Cahill tells the story of how Europe evolved from the classical age of Rome to the medieval era. Not only did he bring Christianity to Ireland, he instilled a sense of literacy and learning that would create the conditions that allowed Ireland to become "the isle of saints and scholars" - and thus preserve Western culture while Europe was being overrun by barbarians.

Arcady- and its greenswards, its moats and castles, its family feuds and alliances, and the uncluttered, open, freedom of sex, drink, talk and action - is just that for Jasper who learns to take embarrassing moments with a leap and whose decision - when the project is closed down - is to depart from this small stay in paradise with a less flamboyant female than those he has sampled.

Jacob de Zoet, a young, intelligent, and ethical clerk is a new arrival to Dejima. This island is the only place where the Dutch are allowed to be – access to the mainland is over a heavily guarded bridge, the Japanese language is off limits for foreigners, and all things associated with Christianity are forbidden for fear of proselytizing. The novel opens in 1799 on Dejima, a walled-in tiny island off the coast of Nagasaki. Mitchell combines several genres – thoroughly researched historical fiction, adventure thriller, and supernatural fantasy – in a novel that divided critics, but ended up long-listed for the Man Booker Prize. The novel follows the lives of a Dutch shipping clerk, newly arrived to the tiny manmade island that functions as a trading post, and a young midwife who is kidnapped by a sinister, magical cult. This work explores the relationship between the Dutch East Indies Company and Japan in the 18th century, a time when Japan was desperately trying to avoid becoming “contaminated” by outside influence. Acclaimed British novelist David Mitchell published The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet in 2010. |
