"Walking around inside these protective shelters, in the presence of exhibited ancient Roman remains, one gets the impression that time is a bit more relative than usual. It's been called " the interior of a time machine": After dark, simple inside lighting glows from the simple wooden box-like architecture, making the interior spaces the constant focus of ancient architecture. The architect chose open wooden slats to create walls along the original outer walls of a complete Roman quarter. One of his first commissions was to create structures to protect the ancient Roman ruins excavated in Chur. Chur, Switzerland is no exception.Īfter finishing his studies at Pratt Institute in New York in 1967, Peter Zumthor returned to Switzerland to work for the Department for the Preservation of Monuments in Graubünden before founding his own firm in 1979.

About 140 miles north of Milan, Italy, is one of the oldest towns in Switzerland.

Sardarji, without hesitation or consultation, has found himself a youthful second wife, Roop (meaning body or form), a village girl whose mother died in childbirth, and whose father is deep in debt to him. Satya (whose name means Truth) has failed to give her well-born respected husband, Sardarji, a child.

If you don’t play hockey, you watch it, so its modest population is obsessed with their junior boys hockey teams and their local standings. Still, it’s an equally impressive book, and I loved the characters which is where Backman truly shines.īeartown is a small hockey town in the far north, so it snows 9-10 months of the year there. I’ve wanted to read it for awhile since I discovered how much I enjoyed Backman’s writing when I reviewed Anxious People last year, which still proves to be one of the most popular reviews on this blog! Based on Anxious People, I assumed this book would be similar, and the writing was, but the tone of Beartown is significantly darker. Beartown by Fredrik Backman is another book I picked up at my local library (curbside that is, apparently Calgary has the highest COVID numbers in the North America at the moment so libraries aren’t open right now). While the reading order of their books is not incredibly important–because each book largely focuses on one sister, and thus any pertinent information is included in the book either through context or outright explanation–the books do build off of each other and characters from the previous book(s) do appear, if only in passing. A Brief History of the Brown SistersĪct Your Age, Eve Brown is the third book in the Brown sisters trilogy. Hibbert has been writing steamy romances for years, but she hooked us with her latest series, the Brown sisters! In her latest release Act Your Age, Eve Brown, she’s done it again. Perhaps you’ve witnessed the internet explosion over the Brown sisters’ trilogy–or perhaps you haven’t! But in the past year, readers all over the world have been raving about the sensational adult romances written by the New York Times bestselling author Talia Hibbert. But there are some books I read which remind me that reading is really fun and Talia Hibbert’s Act Your Age, Eve Brown does that for me. Most often, I tend to read for those two reasons. Sometimes, we read to learn, and sometimes, we read to critically reflect. We live in a culture that systematically brainwashes girls into subjugation as part of a culture hell-bent on patriarchy. All of the things that we as women might inherently do, from comparing ourselves physically to other females and delighting in their shortcomings to feeling ashamed to go out without make-up and stylish clothing to our self-esteem which is directly tied to society’s ideal of our image, sexuality and what men think of us, there are well-reasoned, researched and, quite frankly, obvious explanations presented in The Beauty Myth. Even within the first four or five chapters, despite the depressingly pessimistic overtones and themes, it was teaching me things about patriarchy, mass media and the systematic indoctrination that young girls are targets of from day one. A couple of days ago, I finished reading the popular third wave feminist non-fiction book The Beauty Myth by Naomi Wolf, and its 368 pages of socio-political commentary, theory and in depth analysis of everything in the female sphere left me with many lasting impressions, ideas and musings that I wanted to compile into a little blog/review.įirstly, if you haven’t read this book and you’re at all interested in feminism or vesting yourself in women’s causes and awareness, you absolutely have to make room for it on your list. It's important to finish the last little bit of cooking the pasta in the sauce in order for the pasta to 'drink up the sauce' as it continues to rehydrate during the last stages of cooking. The pasta is transferred to a pan and tossed with a blend of pasta water (this is key), fresh grated Pecorino Romano, and toasted (important) fresh cracked black pepper while it finishes cooking. The pasta is cooked in rapidly boiling salted water until about 90% cooked through. We make fresh extruded pasta (spaghetti) using semolina, eggs, and water. Historically, it was pervasive throughout the Roman countryside, and eventually, it spread to the rest of the country because of how readily available the components were to the local peasants and shepherds (sheep's milk cheese, pepper, pasta). "Cacio e pepe (literally translates to 'cheese and pepper"' is one of the classic Roman osteria pastas. Photo and Styling by Julia Gartland Cacio e Pepe The fingers on one hand, the toes on one foot, a minuscule aggregation when compared with shoals of fish or flocks of birds or indeed tribes of humans.” He adds that the change in family dynamics was in itself “an explosive transformation,” the “supportive, stifling, stabilizing bonds of extended relationships weakening and giving way, leaving in their wake insecurity, anxiety, productivity and potential.” Where once your clan was innumerable, not infinite but of a large number not readily known, now there are five of you. Hamid writes: “As you and your parents and siblings dismount, you embody one of the great changes of your time.
