If you are a booklover, you may be interested in the following.
1. H is for Hawk, by Helen MacDonald
After the sudden loss of her father, Helen Macdonald decided to take on the unimaginable: train one of the most cruel predators, the goshawk (蒼鷹). Driven by the sorrow that controlled her soul, she felt drawn to the fierce bird. It was through training this beast that she was able to cope with her own mourning (哀傷). This book is for anyone who’s struggled with bad emotions that come with heart-aching, loss.
2. An Ember (餘燼) in the Ashes, by Sabaa Tahir
Set in a cruel fantasy world of ancient Rome, An Ember in the Ashes tells the story of Laia and Elias. After her brother is arrested by the Empire, Laia has to make the final choice: aid the rebel army, who promises to rescue her brother if she agrees to become a spy within the Empire’s military academy, or keep silent (and safe) under the extreme rule of the Empire. Naturally, she chooses to become a spy.
3. Dead Wake: The Last Crossing of the Lusitania, by Erik Larson
For all you history fans out there, Erik Larson tells the story of the luxury ocean liner (班輪) Lusitania that left New York in May 1915 bound for Liverpool with a record number of children aboard. While we all know the disastrous fate of this liner — it was sunk by a German U-2 torpedo (魚雷) seven days later — Dead Wake explores the international secrets that unfolded on the days leading up to the tragedy.
4. Ghettoside: A True Story of Murder in America, by Jill Leovy
In Ghettoside, Jill Leovy details her decade-long job as a crime reporter for the Los Angeles Times.
