As long as you go into this knowing that you‘ll have to slow your reading way down, you‘ll be fine. Williams‘ writing is dense & beautiful, with descriptions that bring you so close to the reality of the person, place & thing that you‘ll come out of the story feeling as if you were there. The child in question doesn‘t appear until halfway through the story and by then you‘ve become thoroughly acquainted with the characters of Faha & their lives.

BarbaraBB So glad you went through with it! It sounds like a rewarding book! 3w
Suet624 @BarbaraBB definitely not easy to get through due to his long-running prose but I‘m glad I made it through. 3w
LeeRHarry I‘m making my way through this book by this author - totally agree with your review on the writing. 😊 3w
Suet624 This is Happiness is his best in my opinion. I‘m sure I‘ll be reading it again. I‘m happy for you. 3w

Just loved this book. It took me a while to get into it but so glad I kept going. By the time the story unfolded I had a good handle on the main characters. I had to really concentrate at times on his beautiful writing. Good tears at the end for me. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Suet624 I just realized I never wrote a review of this one! Just finished it a few weeks ago. I‘m with you. I really liked it. 3w

#DynamicDs Day 6: A #Doctor can be a woman, too. Picturebook biography of the first female doctor in the US: Elizabeth Blackwell. Even after Blackwell graduated top of her class, there were angry male #doctor(s) who claimed that they hope she would be the last of her kind. That, of course, is moot and pointless in this day and age. My review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-bpe

The easiest way to describe this book is the say this is the specific ways everyday sexism is used against women and their bodies in the name of science. It‘s pathetic just how many doctors are, in fact, this bad. It‘s even worse to consider that many of these doctors are also women themselves.

GingerAntics The fact that anyone was fine conducting research on breast and uterine cancer, where every test subject was a man is proof that men are not superior at critical thinking. #MayaDusenbery #DoingHarm #audiobook #women #womenshealth #health #everydaysexism #doctors #donoharm 2mo

And don‘t insist we advocate for ourselves, then get pissy when we actually do, or we‘ve done our homework and know more about our symptoms and how they may tie together than you do. We are not deferring to “Dr. Google” more than to you. We are trying to get you to take us seriously.
