I Am Currently Reading This Book

I am reading The Power by Naomi Alderman. It is about a world in which teenage girls acquire the ability to inflict unbearable pain or death on other people (as if teenage girls were not already scary enough 馃檮) and how this changes the balance of power between the genders. I love it, but it is quite frightening 馃惢

I have been reading [i]The Guineveres[i][/i][/i] by Sarah Domet, and I am almost done with the book. It is about four girls all named Guinevere (I believe that it takes place during World War II in America) who come from unfortunate backgrounds who come to be educated in a convent and want to leave to be out on their own before they turn eighteen (A girl's eighteenth birthday is the day where they can leave the convent to go out into the world on her own path). When four soldiers who are in comas come to the Sick Ward of the convent where a lot of the old folks are, the girls get excited about the young, battle-ridden, and unconscious men, and they want to each become a nurse to each boy. The Guineveres hope that when the boys awaken, that they will be able to go to their homes away from the convent, and live with their own families, fall in love, and get married. It is definitely an emotional story in many ways, once you get into it, and each one of the girls has her own exclusive attitude and appearance which make them all memorable characters! I don't want to give too much away, though! :)

@TammieBear You are so welcome! I am glad that you think that I had a good review for [i]The Guineveres[i][/i][/i], and that I made you want to read it without giving away too many details. 馃槉 I hope that you are able to check it out, if it is available where you live! I have about one quarter left of the book, and I hope that I enjoy the ending. I will let you know whether or not I liked it, though I won't spoil it for you, though! Lots of love from me to you! 馃
