Zumbador<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/bookstodon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>bookstodon</span></a></span> 2/2 <br>There are many women in this book. Married, unmarried, widows, farmers, housewives, pompous, bright, silly, hypocritical, brave, all strong in their own ways. Also, one very lesbian-coded woman who pops up to challenge Kirsty's assumptions that happiness necessarily meaning marriage to a man. And leaves her with a chaste kiss!</p><p>The child characters (Kirsty looks after three orphaned children) are charming and realistic, full people in their own right, depicted with respect and humour. There are several scenes with the children where I genuinely laughed out loud. And cried a bit too.</p><p>The book is sentimental at times, with the author's hand too apparent as it smoothes out the bumps created by story threads of poverty, sickness and injustice. But those darker topics are still in clear focus. For example, one of the poorer characters challenges Kirsty's blithe ignorance of her privilege as a wealthy woman.</p><p>Definitely a book I'll read again.</p><p><a href="https://mefi.social/tags/FreeBooks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FreeBooks</span></a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/RomanceBook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RomanceBook</span></a></p>
Zumbador<p>@bookstodon <br>Found a wonderful book for free on Faded Pages. "Pink Sugar" by Anna Masterton Buchan writing as O Douglas. What a lovely book! Written in 1924, a light, happy romance set in a Scottish country village after the First World War.</p><p>It's cozy and friendly, although the aftermath of the war is apparent in the dearth of young men and the general attitude to mental health. Basically "suck it up we all have unacknowledged PTSD". </p><p>A sharp but kind look at the flaws of the various characters. Funny, feminist, wry, and clever. The main character, Kirsty, is traditionally feminine. She's a selfless, nurturing person who loves making others happy, especially small children. She's also confident, bright, and never passive, and not defined by her relationship to a man.</p><p>The romance storyline is there, but in the background. We learn a lot more about Kirsty's relationships with other women and with children, than with the man she falls in love with.<br>1/2</p><p><a href="https://mefi.social/tags/FreeBooks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FreeBooks</span></a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/RomanceBooks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RomanceBooks</span></a></p>

Joanne Walker has no use for the mystical, and up until this morning, the mystical had no use for her. But now she must choose between accepting her shamanic gifts, or...dying.

(Look, nobody said it was a GOOD choice!)
