Nir takes readers into the lesser-known corners of the riding world and profiles some of its most captivating figures. It is also a coming-of-age story of Nir growing up as an outsider within the world’s most elite inner circles, and finding her true north in horses. Named one of USA Today’s “20 Summer Books You Won’t Want to Miss,” Horse Crazy is a fascinating, funny, and moving love letter to these graceful animals and the people who - like her - are obsessed with them. Sarah’s book goes beyond her sheer passion for these majestic animals into a deeper exploration of life, love, obsession and resilience.” ![]() “Horses are of course synonymous with Saratoga in August. “We are excited to continue our series with Joe Donahue and WAMC,” SPAC president and CEO Elizabeth Sobo said in a press release.

She soon decided that she could no longer attend church in good faith. As she matured, Evans’ religious beliefs changed, and friends whom she met here further shook her faith in Christianity. In 1841, they moved to a house near Coventry. Miss Lewis, the principal of the second of these schools, was especially influential with her, and it was here that Mary Ann adopted the religious devotion and self-repression that dominated her youth.įollowing the death of her mother and her sister's marriage in 1837, Evans took charge of her father's household. With her sister, Evans attended two boarding schools for girls, where she was strongly influenced by evangelical Christianity. ![]() The plains and hedges of her native region furnish the setting of many of her novels, including Silas Marner. ![]() George Eliot was the pen name of Mary Ann (later Marian) Evans, who was born in a country house at Nuneaton, Warwickshire, in 1819. ![]() ![]() It lends the book a slightly superficial and lightweight quality.īy far the most disappointing aspect of the book is the characterisation everything is totally one dimensional. It’s frustrating as it seems to hint that the author has put some thought into the science part of the science fiction but that this never really makes it to the page. What would happen to the diaspora if we sent out generation ships, some points about how we might harvest comets but none of it is explored with any great detail. ![]() On the face of it there are some interesting themes in The Silver Ships. The meat of the book is concerned with the interactions between the crew of the deactivated ship, their artificial intelligence and our hero and their quest to return to their home planet. We learn of the ships when a deactivated ship attacked by them drifts into the vicinity of our hero who, of course, rescues them. The Silver Ships is a tale of a threat to mankind from the titular silver ships. ![]() ![]() Set in the 1960s, Radiance is based on the assumption that interplanetary travel was made possible sometime in the 20s or 30s. The novel itself is a movie about making movies. It offers a world that is a reflection of the real world, a better or worse version: it’s up to the readers to decide which. It’s made up of bits of script, bits of first-person narrations, bits of notebooks, bits of screen, bits of interviews, and bits of audio transcript. Radiance is a splintered narrative of spliced film. ![]() And the only reason I purchased it was because the back cover reminded me of Station Eleven. I haven’t read a book so simultaneously innovative and nostalgic since Ancillary Justice, the first review I wrote on Luna Station Quarterly. First of all, if I had all the power in the world, I would nominate it for all the Nebulas and awards out there. Radiance, though, is an entirely other beast. That being said, a lot of the “interplanetary” novels I’ve read this year have found their main plot-line on Earth. I forget that science fiction doesn’t always have to be about space but can also be about time. ![]() When I don’t read science fiction for a while, I forget how much I love it. ![]() ![]() We live in the shadows of every neighborhood.

The lines speak to the poet's "return to the bright world" from hell, and to an optimism notable for its absence from Mengestu's moving, sad book.īeautiful Things concerns Sepha Stephanos, an immigrant from Ethiopia now running a shabby corner store in a dodgy part of D.C. ![]() |
