“She looked down at her palms and understood – her being was implied, her potential thoughts and feelings coursing through her body, the names of everything she knew and those she didn’t yet, all in the perpetual existence in her fingertips.”

True Biz by Sara Nović

This was a really interesting read, but the ending left me unsatisfied. This is probably a book that a majority of the US population could stand to read for the topic alone, but for me, the story arc left just a little to be desired. I don’t necessarily need a happy ending, but I do need that feeling of completion you get with a well-told story, and I was missing that here, even if the book leading up to the ending was very well done […]

A Quick and Easy Guide to Queer and Trans Identities by Mady G and JR Zuckerberg

A powerful, evocative novel of war, terror, and trauma

Girl at War by Sara Nović

July 14, 2015 by bonnie Leave a Comment

I don’t remember where I first heard of Sara Nović’s Girl At War, but it’s been generating some quiet buzz since its publication this last May. I was intrigued by the premise, and I’ve been wondering what fiction related to the Yugoslavian civil wars would be like, so I thought I would give this novel a try. I certainly hope that Nović keeps on writing—this debut novel is excellent. Girl At War takes place at two different junctions in Ana Jurić’s life: her life in […]
