Boudica: Warrior Woman of Roman Britain | Caitlin C. Gillespie

pick

Soft pick. I chose this particular book because I wanted to hear Boudica's story from the mouth of a woman who could be critical of sexist sources who used Boudica's story to further their own agendas. In a way, she reveals those agendas and some of their biases. But, for the most part, she simply retells their stories without too much criticism (where it was due). 1/3

bookwyrm7 Perhaps, used to write as a scholar, she hides her own voice, simply wishing to present what is already out there without further critical analysis. Perhaps, it was my own hopes that led to my disappointment. But I still find she missed a few chances to really shine. 2/3 12mo

bookwyrm7 There was a lot of repetition of ideas already mentioned but without exploring these in more detail, for example. She doesn't do a lot more than to point out the obvious a lot of the time.
Still, the book itself is a great way of telling what little there is about Boudica's story. A lot of research seems to have gone into it and I'm glad I read it. I'd definitely recommend it! 3/3 12mo

Swallowing Mercury | Wioletta Greg, Eliza Marciniak

pick

…and let‘s see if we can start the year as we mean to go on, by actually writing the odd review!

Set in rural 1980s Poland, these vignettes of a young girl growing up are beautifully evocative and well-written. There‘s humour, there are several dark episodes, and there‘s wonderful detail of time and place.

But they are very much vignettes. I don‘t mind not-

Currey, BookwormM

rockpools much-plot, but several of these started as a story, then wandered off elsewhere, leaving this reader floundering a little. Parts do have the feel of a dream you can‘t quite grasp, but I WANTED THE REST OF THE STORY.

So a pick. But a low pick. As always, this is my late entry for #readaroundtheworld #poland. 1y

Ruthiella That‘s often my trouble with short stories- I want more… 1y

BookwormM You know me not a short story fan 1y
