Fringe meetings in Manchester seethe with dread of “the Blob” (a catch-all term covering civil servants, local councils that aren’t controlled by Tories, academia, the creative industries and non-governmental organisations). Speakers decry the suffocation of freedom by wokery (a super-villainous reincarnation of the enemy formerly known as “political correctness gone mad”).

The cost of disentangling Britain from the EU was a monumental fact denied by advocates of the cause. The more it intruded on negotiations, the fiercer grew their attachment to denial. Lady Caroline Lamb (née Ponsonby; 13 November 1785 – 25 January 1828) was an Anglo-Irish aristocrat and novelist, best known for Glenarvon, a Gothic novel. In 1812, she had an affair with Lord Byron, whom she described as "mad, bad, and dangerous to know". Her husband was the Honourable William Lamb, who after her death became 2nd Viscount Melbourne and British prime minister.

Ahmed’s brilliant novel shows that the familiar journey of being smart, in love, and a little lost is as profound now as it was in the 19th century. Add in a romance in the hidden gardens of Paris and an explosive trove of lost historical letters from a womanalmost forgottenand you’ve got a fresh,thoughtful joyride that you’ll want to read with everywoman and girlyou know.” While RF doesn't seem the type to talk about his feelings, more description about his internal challenges and interaction with his teams would've given the book a better flow. His story had an interesting work / life split. I think his jargon-laden chapter on fighting the Arabs was potentially longer than his comments on his relationships with Ginny, Louise and Elizabeth combined.

Khayyam and Leila's voices are totally unique and majestic in their own way which made me shed a few tears at some points. I loved Samira's writing so much.

It starts off slow, you want to get to the polar expeditions, and it seems to take a long while to get there -- which isn't surprising, as Fiennes didn't exactly start doing them in his teenage years. Byron responded to the novel; "I read Glenarvon too by Caro Lamb….God damn!" The book was a financial success that sold out several editions but was dismissed by critics as pulp fiction. However, Goethe deemed it worthy of serious literary consideration. [20]

Another interesting exploration of identity wrapped up in a unique story . . . [Ahmed] continues to delight.”Even though I mostly read fantasy or romance novels, I am actually very fond of books which have a lot of archeological, historical or artsy elements. I usually find these favorite aspects in my adventure novels, so it was actually very refreshing to see a literary/art history related mystery in a YA novel. I’ve never been to Paris but it’s a dream destination of mine, and the setting here in the book was so vivid and lush that I felt transported, but also sad that i haven’t been there already. I also liked that the author takes us to those places in Paris which are not the main tourist attractions - we only get a single mention of the Louvre and the Eiffel Tower doesn’t even get that - but we see the charm in the places which only the locals would know. And the way the author interconnected the stories of Alexandre Dumas, Eugène Delacroix and Lord Byron with the plot of this book was genius and it’s a great feeling to be exploring the lives of such great artists who have left indelible impressions on us. The writing style is equal parts endearing and poetic and beautiful, and I just found myself lost within the words - it was a mesmerizing experience that I won’t be forgetting anytime soon.
