![]() ![]() Second chance romance books are always a hit or a very bad miss. Women who are amazing, intelligent, beautiful, loyal, successful and everything good who settle for men who failed to do the bare minimum which is respect them enough to be honest and open with them. Women who forgive men because they had reasons to do what they did. ![]() I detest this plot from the bottom of my heart and part of it is because I don’t wanna read anymore about women who accept men who don’t deserve them. I will maybe go back and read the rest in the series, but this story was the wrong one for me. I liked some of DP’s books but in others, I’ve noticed she does have a tendency to sometimes write men who are problematic. ![]() We need to raise the bar both fictional and real one. Those have no place here unless they are part of the book but not the relationship. But I’m tired of the misogyny, audacity of men and generally the low expectations that women have. But seriously, I can put up with a lot of shit in romance and I take it with a grain of salt. Note: most of this review will read like an essay on female anger. I almost never rate books this low but I’m freaking fuming. ![]() I’m giving it this rating mostly out of fury and annoyance - the writing was great and the story was well told. ![]()

![]() ![]() It amazes me that a book written in 1890 could possess such relevance today. Isaac Bashevis Singer observed that “The whole modern school of fiction stems from Hamsun.” Writings from an author this gifted just couldn’t become interred with his bones. With that legacy, the continued popularity of his work bewilders as well. A native Norwegian, the Nazis occupied the country from Apuntil the cessation of European hostilities on May 8, 1945. His support of Adolf Hitler mystifies the mind. To be clear: there’s no excuse for Hamsun’s reprehensible conduct during the Second World War. Hamsun’s life challenged that expression a bit. The good is oft interred with their bones. ![]() When reading Hamsun I find myself recalling a line spoke by Antony in Julius Caesar. I’d read Hunger before and just had to return for seconds. They certainly weren’t fed-up with this one. The author’s first book whet readers’ appetites for more of his work. It’s a veritable banquet of savory literary techniques that will leave readers returning for seconds. Those starving for good fiction should feast upon this offering by Knut Hamsun. ![]() ![]() ![]() The Saga series has sold seven million copies to date across single issue, trade paperback, compendium, hardcover, and digital editions and has been translated into 20 languages. 10 trade paperback release (collecting Saga #55-60) left off.
