Welcome to Litsy!

In the early 1900‘s, an Indian youth, Krishnamurti, was chosen to be the Spiritual Leader of the Theosophical Society. He was educated, groomed and provided with travel, castles, land and servants. In 1929, he denounced the Society, and spoke against their beliefs. #heretic #nofemmeber

Finished part one today, and I‘m not sure how I feel about it yet. Hopefully part two will end up making it more clear for me 🤞 although, it has become clear that Charles Ryder is a little bit of a #Heretic in the eyes Sebastian‘s Catholic family.

Also, it was a two cakes kind of day today, and it was delicious 👌

DAY 14: Nefertari (Nefertiti‘s forgotten niece) is cast aside after her family is killed by a palace fire and posthumously labeled as heretics. She must overcome her family‘s past. This work of historical fiction is part of Moran‘s Egyptian Royals Collection. I loved all three books!

The sweetest heresy received
That men and women know—
Each other‘s convert—
Though the faith accommodate but two—

The churches are so frequent—
The ritual—so small
The grace so unavoidable—
To fail—is infidel—

I loved this book. Need to read the second one she has #heretic and the third Nomad. I must be a heretic myself because one of my favorite songs is Dear God by XTC http://www.metrolyrics.com/dear-god-lyrics-xtc.html #nofemmeber

Kathleen Kent is descended from Martha Carrier, one of the women accused of witchcraft during the Salem Witch Trials. Kent writes a fictional tale about her ancestor, told from the perspective of one of Martha‘s daughters, that is harrowing and haunting. I loved this book - a little different narration wise, but it leaves such an impact. #heretic #NoFemmeber

To be Dalit and to question the caste system inherent in Hinduism is to be a #heretic. This is an incredibly personal account of the costs of going against the social order in Indian society. Highly recommended.

Day 14 - #heretic #nofemmeber

Dido‘s Mum, Edie, doesn‘t do normal and leads a bit of a #heretic lifestyle. And all Dido wants is normal, just plain old boring normal.

After a few heavy reads of late, this is a good palate cleanser so far, and an interesting look into Mum-daughter relationships. And I think this was one I stacked from you @Cinfhen
