Two light British reads for your pandemic pleasure

Two light British reads for your pandemic pleasure

Hot Stew is a fun romp in London’s brothel district British authors have a gift for coming up with the most interesting plot lines and an abundance of colourful characters. Hot Stew by Fiona Mozley is such a book. Set in the red-light district of London’s Soho district, it’s a David and Goliath story about a small group of sex workers who are trying to save their seedy hotel and place of business…

Hello bookish friends! And happy Friday to you all. I’m here to celebrate (in my usual way 😂) with the second part of my birthday book haul! Thank you so much to @keeperofpages @tarheelreader @chrissireads Mr B and my family for spoiling me rotten in a tough year. I’ve already read Circe with @keeperofpages but I read the paperback edition. She knew I was cursing myself having not bought the hardback so she eased the pain and bought it for me! 🤣😍 The other books I’ve been coveting for a little while apart from Of Women And Salt which I hadn’t heard of but as soon as I saw it and read the synopsis, I knew I had to have it. I’m also planning to read Hot Stew at some point with @tarheelreader (we have a VERY long buddy reads list) as we enjoyed Elmet so much when we read it together a while back. So, tell me all the things!! What do you think of any of these books or authors? Have you read any? Do you want to read any? Let’s have a chat in the comments! Have a lovely weekend everyone 🤗😘 #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #birthdaybookhaul #allthebooks #booksimexcitedtoread #buddyreads #openwater #calebazumahnelson #summerwater #sarahmoss #ofwomenandsalt #gabrielagarcia #hotstew #fionamozley #circe #madelinemiller #failosophy #elizabethday #dreamland #rosarankingee #bookobsessed https://www.instagram.com/p/CO3JX1-L8xT/?igshid=ch1gzpzbon6t

How the Booker-longlisted novel Elmet’s author handles a narrator’s response to some intense experience:

I just finished reading Elmet by Fiona Mozley late last night.

I remember reading two instances in which the narrator Daniel, a teenage boy living in the woods with his sister and his Daddy, attempted to rise above any intense experience inflicted upon him by detaching himself from it in his own way. One day when they were playing on a beach, looking for hidden sea creatures under the sand, they were accosted by a pair of bullies from school, privileged sons of the feudal landlord Price. One of them started upon the girl, attempting to hurt her, but when she was unresponsive they decided to take it on her little brother and decided to dunk his head under the water. Here’s how the boy reacted to this. See image 1.

On another occasion when he had to hitch a ride with a man, he allowed him to use his body. He reacted the same way, making himself observe the man’s tattoos instead of being at the moment during the sex act. See image 2.

Near the end of the novel, both children were kidnapped and transported to their ransacked home in the woods for a retribution on the boy’s father for a crime the feudal landlord Price thought the children’s father had committed upon his son. The sister told the narrator Daniel how she herself was able to do a similar detachment by putting herself in a position as if whatever was being done to her was not really happening. See image 3

“Elmet” (Fazi Editore, 2018, traduzione di Silvia Castoldi) è il romanzo di esordio della giovane e talentuosa scrittrice inglese, classe 1988, Fiona Mozley. Un romanzo che parte in sordina, in un mondo quasi idilliaco, che mostra ben presto ciò che di negativo può esserci nella vita di ogni essere umano, i pericoli, le difficoltà, i fatti omessi. #fazi #fazieditore #elmet #fionamozley #romanzo

Hello everyone and hope you’re all well. Today I’m carrying on with my bookshelf tour and this photo shows the top shelf of my fourth bookshelf. My books are arranged alphabetically but as you can see, I’m running out of space 😂 so these books are a mixture of authors with surnames beginning with M, N and O. These books are all still on my TBR and I can’t wait to get to them. Specifically, I’m hoping to read The Parentations, A Burning and Hot Stew quite soon! I’d love to know your thoughts on any of these books or authors. Let’s have a chat in the comments! #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #mybookshelf #bookshelftour #myshelves #hotstew #fionamozley #aburning #meghamajumdar #theparentations #katemayfield #tbrpile #tbrlist #booksineedtoread https://www.instagram.com/p/CQMTtHerZLB/?utm_medium=tumblr

Out of this stack, I’ve read Three Martini Lunch which is one of my favourite books, I hope to get to Saltwater quite soon and I plan to buddy read Hot Stew with @tarheelreader as we both enjoyed Elmet so much!
