Trans-Sister Radio by Chris Bohjalian

goodreads

When Allison Banks develops a crush on Dana Stevens, she knows that he will give her what she needs most: attention, gentleness, kindness, passion. Her daughter, Carly, enthusiastically witnesses the change in her mother. But then a few months into their relationship, Dana tells Allison his secret: he has always been certain that he is a woman born into the wrong skin, and soon he will have a sex-change operation. Allison, is overwhelmed by the depth of her passion, and finds herself unable to leave Dana. By deciding to stay, she finds she must confront questions most people never even consider. Not only will her own life and Carly’s be irrevocably changed, she will have to contend with the outrage of a small Vermont community and come to terms with her lover’s new body–hoping against hope that her love will transcend the physical.

Mod opinion: I hadn't heard of this book before but it seems very dated (and written by a cishet male author) so I'm not interested.

Historical Thriller Rec: The Lioness by Chris Bohjalian

Audiobook narrated by January LaVoy, Grace Experience, and Gabrielle De Cuir. Runtime 10 hours.

The Lioness takes place in 1964 and is the story of a group of wealthy Hollywood types on safari in Tanzania. The safari goes horribly wrong. Who will make it out alive? This action packed thriller will keep you guessing.

Rarely do I give a book a 5 star rating but The Lioness gets one!

There are really no slow parts to this book. Author Chris Bohjalian keeps the reader on their toes.

The story is told from multiple perspectives, but it's not confusing because every chapter begins with the character's name.

I would definitely describe this novel as a psychological thriller. The reader really gets inside the heads of the characters.

Content Warning: There is some foul language and some gore but it is not gratuitous. Real people in desperate situations don't stop to think about censoring their language. As for the gore, I found it enhanced the story and was necessary in a book with vivid descriptions of everything else.

The narration of this novel was excellent. There are three narrators and each one is spot on. I felt transported to Tanzania, both by the author's descriptions, and the superb narration.

I’ve never heard of this author before, but he’s very prolific. He also wrote The Flight Attendant, which the HBO series is based on. (Haven’t seen that yet, but I very much want to!)

Anyway, this was a great book. I really couldn’t put it down. It’s about a group of Hollywood people who go on an African safari in the 60s that goes horrifically wrong. They tell you right at the start that most of the characters die. It’s just a matter of finding out who and how.

Novel Nuggets - May Releases

Novel Nuggets – May Releases

Slowly but surely, I will dig myself out from under this self-made mountain of a review backlog. All I can do is tackle it one book at a time. Here are some goodies I read months ago that were all released in May. Book of Night, the newest novel from the consistently excellent Holly Black, is as mysterious as shadow itself. Or, at least, that is what I thought after first reading it. Now, I…

Last hour and a half of The Night Strangers is really stressing me out...mostly because I've heard mixed things about the ending...

She could not and would not live like this:  a creature contemplating its own demise at its own hands.

A Break from TV to Review Some Books!

It has been a really long time since I reviewed any books so here are a few that I have read in the last year including a couple that were only released in the last two or three weeks. All of these books are good and worth reading. Many are worthy Book Club additions.
