About this deal

The story grew even stronger when it took time away from the action - which got exhausting and repetitive by page 150 - and let the characters linger in moments of calm. If marriage is a long conversation about how best to live, Gerry and Stella have not yet stopped debating their positions: “We can’t be responsible for everybody’s grief,” he says.

It's kind of a by-the-numbers out-of-the-frying-pan-into-the-fire zombie book, but fairly entertaining. He still loves her, he’s just taking a break – from their marriage, their children and, most of all, from their life together.It didn't gawk at the tragic event that takes place in the book or at its survivors, it didn't make excuses or try to make saints or devils out of the various characters, it didn't make me feel like a victim or hopeless myself. There is a family tree illustration provided, but even with that, I still struggled to keep the women and generations of families separate which really took away from my reading experience.

The Break by Katherena Vermette | Goodreads

Crimes involving "Nates" (natives) are ho-hum, routine occurrences to Officer Christie, Scott's older, white, police partner.Die Polizei geht von einer Schlägerei unter Gang-Mitgliedern aus, eine Vergewaltigung sei bei diesem Wetter draußen doch gänzlich unwahrscheinlich. In the winter, the Break is just a lake of wind and white, a field of cold and biting snow that blows up with the slightest gust. Für mich war diese Komplexität der Geschichte und Figuren aber genau richtig - ohne hätte das Buch wohl nicht so gut funktioniert. Zu Beginn fällt es schwer, sich einen Überblick zu verschaffen - da kann ich nur empfehlen, den Stammbaum am Ende des Buches im Blick zu behalten. I'm known to ONLY read to ten percent through the book and then quit because it's too boring or the writing is haphazard or I couldn't connect to the characters etc etc.

There are a lot of characters to keep track of here but with the help of an illustration of the family tree I didn’t have too much trouble keeping track of all the characters involved.Reading this presented a glimpse into the life of what some Indigenous women and families live through, much of it being quite shocking and upsetting.

Break by Hannah Moskowitz | Goodreads

This was a Traveling Sisters group read that I had the pleasure of reading along with Lindsay, Susanne, Diane and Dem. For an even better experience, book one of our lodges with hot tubs at Carmarthen Bay – they won’t disappoint! When they show up the senior officer is quick to dismiss her, as there is no ‘body’, just some blood, and believes that she merely saw some ‘gang violence’.In 40 years of short stories and four previous novels, MacLaverty has written often about the distance between couples: about men floored by alcohol, and women examining their faith; about religious prejudice in Northern Ireland, the violence of the Troubles and the stranglehold of the Catholic church. The President, on her last address to the American public, tells the nation that the epidemic has reached critical mass and authorization for a nuclear strike had been given in an effort to stop the infection. This does provide a nice counterbalance to the typical intensity found in zombie media, but it does not do enough to take away from his character weaknesses and, more than once, furthered my dislike for Jeremiah.
