"Sing You Home" - Jodi Picoult Dark Places
I do not believe to be ashamed of what you read. If you read a book and get something out of reading - may it so be a good laugh, newly acquired knowledge of gardening / geography / neurology, few tears or a changed world - so it's good reading. Shame pillow can relegate to a dusty closet. Yes, that is my opinion. In theory. In practice, francisco blake it can become infinitely expanding range - such as in the case of Jodi Picoult.
Let me say it again: I like Jodi Picoult, has thrown me over every new novel for over half a decade. Her books are a kind of hybrid between relationship novel and courtroom drama (sorry, I could not find a suitable Swedish translation), always with more or less complex ethical dilemmas. You will remember "My Sister's Keeper," which a few years ago adapted for the screen by Nick Cassavetes, the girl who does her family on the right to her own body. When she has all her life, from the fetal stage, functioned as a living part of his seriously ill sister. His sister needs her to survive - but it means that parents are right to expose the healthy sister to repeated medical intervention? A typical Jodi Picoult-dilemma there.
Looking at the number of books read by the same author and Hardcover Worthy index - books that I immediately buy in English hardcover francisco blake edition because I did not manage to wait for pocketen, or even large pocketen for that matter - looks like Jodi Picoult one of my favorite authors. Still appears rarely if ever her name up when I talk favorite author, and - now we come into ashamed territory - when I discuss her with the so-called literary-versed people (whoever they are), I find myself throwing in small gard ing words as "fact" and "anyway". As in: "I actually think Jodi Picoult is pretty good, though."
Partly francisco blake it klimakterielittfaktorn at play. Say Jodi Picoults name, and my mind conjures up images of neat suburban where housewives - or stay at home moms as they prefer to be called - sit and discuss Picoults latest novel after the kids went to bed. OPRAH WINFREY Show, O Magazine, articles about finding his inner voice. Something deep essential American that I would seek out in literature and popular culture when I'm in the right mood, but I still can not help but make fun of me. Nevertheless: when others make fun of Jodi Picoult and bokcirklande home mothers rushing me to their defense as if I were a tigress. Remember Franz discussion on Bokhora, for example. Same thing when DN's Boklördag wrote a contemptuous article about Jodi Picoult and another female American bästsäljarförfattare in the same furrow, Anita Shreve. I can mock my (basically deeply francisco blake loved) klimakterielittförfattare, giggle at their grave grave sincerity - the English earnestness is a better word - their smear and uber sentimental end. I get it, I argue, because I do it from a kärlelsfullt perspective. If you remove love from the equation, it becomes at once horrible and prejudiced, a classic example of how female spheres mocked and belittled all the way into the literature.
Now I have just finished reading Jodi Picoults latest novel, "Sing You Home" and has decided to quit ashamed. My name is Helena and I like novels about love, family, relationships and moral dilemmas. I like Jodi Picoult, but verbal doubles and home-made excuses disguised as sarcasm. (Okay, I still have to giggle a little at that Picoult has recorded an original soundtrack to "Sing You Home" where she sings. Maybe hug ashamed pillow a little, little while, too.) "Sing You Home" is not only a successful francisco blake page-turner with all the usual picoultska markers, it's also a pretty damn important novel. It takes up Picoult gay Americans the right to the same things that heterosexuals take for granted, and she does it very, very well. Maybe it will be a tad too polarized and easily when hyvens liberal is against the evil Christian right and their stone-age argument, I think the real evil can exist in between, in small taunts and everyday homophobia - but suffice it to watch five minutes on FOX News to believe that this is the way reality francisco blake in many U.S. cities francisco blake ... and not even a supposedly liberal and open country like California to allow same-sex marriage. I get depressed, angry and sad about how far behind the U.S. is in LGBT issues, but also glad that a writer with Picoults audience of millions so totally stands on LGBT movement's side. Her novels are sold in millions, and I believe and hope that the "Sing Yo
