In the vein of Margaret Atwood and Eileen Myles, Leni Zumas fearlessly explores the contours of female experience, evoking THE HANDMAID'S TALE for a new millennium. RED CLOCKS is at once a riveting drama, whose mysteries unfold with magnetic energy, and a shattering novel of ideas. And Gin is the gifted, forest-dwelling herbalist, or "mender," who brings all their fates together when she's arrested and put on trial in a frenzied modern-day witch hunt. Mattie is the adopted daughter of doting parents and one of Ro's best students, who finds herself pregnant with nowhere to turn. Susan is a frustrated mother of two, trapped in a crumbling marriage. Ro, a single high-school teacher, is trying to have a baby on her own, while also writing a biography of Eivor, a little-known 19th-century female polar explorer. In a small Oregon fishing town, five very different women navigate these new barriers alongside age-old questions surrounding motherhood, identity, and freedom. In this ferociously imaginative novel, abortion is once again illegal in America, in-vitro fertilization is banned, and the Personhood Amendment grants rights of life, liberty, and property to every embryo.

"There was no clear path to land and riches among the lower ranks," Isenberg writes of antebellum Americans. The myth of upward mobility did not concern early Americans, and the vastness of the continent provided a ready alternative for the poor. We only took greater strides than European nations to keep those structures out of sight. We may have ditched Debrett's, and the shape of our class structure may have been different, but we did not really eliminate class structures, nor their political and cultural significance. I noted how she reaches back to the colonial era and the founding to demonstrate that, despite our national myths to the contrary, Americans did not really break from British ideas about class. Yesterday, I began my review of Nancy Isenberg's important new book White Trash: The 400-Year Untold History of Class in America. But two of the most heart wrenching tales to ever be told are those of Solomon Northup in his memoir, “ 12 Years a Slave,” and Frederick Douglass in “ The Narrative of Frederick Douglass: An American Slave.” Both these men endured the horrors of slavery from two different points of view, and if you read closely, some obvious, and some not so obvious details of resistance are riddled throughout the narratives of each man. Some of these incidents were well documented, such as in “ The Underground Railroad,” and some tales of heroic resistance were never spoken of, unfortunately, dying with the colored men and women who fought so diligently to abolish slavery (Staff). Throughout history, there have been numerous acts of resistance from slaves who demanded a better life for themselves and their fellow brethren. Only now she finds that he might just be her Christmas miracle after all these years.

Of course I didn't know then, and neither did my friend, that the reason her father didn't want any of the women of the house to read Alf Layla wa-Layla was because of its explicit sexuality.Īs the years passed, my obsession with Alf Layla wa-Layla faded. I asked my friend if I might touch one, but she said that her father always locked the cabinet and kept the key in his pocket, because he said he feared that if anyone finished the stories they would drop dead. The volumes were leather-bound, their title engraved in gold. I heard that a girl in my class had Alf Layla wa-Layla, and I hurried with her to peer at a few volumes in a glass cabinet, next to a carved elephant tusk. I don't recall exactly whether I was eight or 10 years old when I first heard the words Alf Layla wa-Layla, One Thousand and One Nights, but I do remember listening to a radio dramatisation and being utterly smitten: the clamour, hustle and bustle of the bazaars and souks, the horses' hooves, the creaking of a dungeon door, how the radio seemed to vibrate and shake at the footsteps of a demon, and the famous crow of the lonely rooster at the start of each episode, which would be answered by all the roosters in our neighbourhood.
