"Swooning all over this book - I'm saving quotes from every other page, with entire sections "highlighted" (well, copied into my notebook). Brooding, incisive, politically-socially relevant Latin American fiction at its best since Bolano & Vargas Llosa <3 *dying* Will review in depth when done." — Jan 27, 2019 06:12AM

""Been waiting YEARS for another Shardlake and I am SOOO EXCITED. This doesn't come out in the US for another month but I just had to have it so I ordered it from GB. Sansom is an honest to goodness (academic) historian and this series is ostensibly a "historical mystery" series but really it's so much more - at 860+ pages, I'd not read almost any other book but this one I'm savoring a few pages at a time <3 *swoon*"" — Jan 05, 2019 04:38AM

"Not what I expected - so far, it's a collection of essays describing personal experiences with rape :/ - I would not have picked it up had I known, too many triggers and very unpleasant / depressing / heart wrenching / re-traumatizing. Thought it would be more about the history /laws/ analysis of the problem." — Jan 05, 2019 04:28AM

“... in a cycle as old as tribalism, ignorance of the Other engenders fear; fear engenders hatred; hatred engenders violence; violence engenders further violence until the only "rights", the only law, are whatever is willed by the most powerful.”
