Book Review

When we booked our week-long trip to Malta, we did so on a whim (cheap flight!) and knew nothing about the country beyond the results of an hour’s long Google search that sold us on booking the flights. In the months leading up to the trip, we read some books about Malta that not only got us excited about going to see many of the sites tied to the books but also helped us to enjoy the trip so much more, garnering a greater understanding of the country’s history as we toured. Since returning, we have read more books about the country and hope to make it back some day to visit the places we didn’t get to on the first trip.

Book Review of Sula by Toni Morrison

There is a beautiful, haunting sadness that permeates this novel beginning with the early introduction to National Suicide Day, a solution dreamed up by Shadrack, a World War I veteran returning to town with visible and non-visible scars. Without giving away too much of the plot, there are a series of unfortunate accidents - slight slips of hand or errant strands of hair - that create life-altering and life-hardening ripples in the lives of the characters living in the area of town known as The Bottom.
