Paul og Mette Gauguins veje skilles da Paul i 1885 vælger at rejse til
Paris for at forfølge sine kunstneriske ambitioner og efterlader kone og
fem børn i København. Et stærkt portræt af en selvstændig og utraditionel
kvindes udfordring; kærligheden til en kompromisløs kunstner.
Jeg kunne virkelig godt lide denne biografiske roman. Man lærer virkelig Mette Gauguin at kende og gennem hende livet som ægtefælle til en kunstner. At ofre alt for kunsten. At vælge mellem familie (og forpligtelser) og så kunsten. Og hvordan kunst kan have stor indflydelse på en families liv, selvom kunstneren lever adskilt fra dem.
Jeg har aldrig selv været specielt interesseret i billedkunst, men bogen lærte mig noget om at leve sig ind i kunst, og gav mig en lyst til at lære mere af Gauguins kunst at kende.
En bog for kunstelskere, for folk der kan lide biografier og for folk der kan lide at læse om stærke kvinder.
Bogen er om et kvindeliv som hustru til en kompromisløs kunstner.
Læst til læsekreds i august

fantastisk
Ifemelu og Obinzi fra Nigeria er forelskede, men bliver splittede, da Ifemelu får et stipendium til USA, og Obinzi må leve som illegal immigrant i London. Begge opdager hvad det vil sige at være sort. Men hvad med kærligheden?
Jeg tog nogle sider før jeg rigtig blev fanget af historien, men så gik det ellers ret hurtigt med at blive færdig med den.
Det er en bog om at være sort, være afrikaner, om Nigeria, om at finde og genfinde sin identitet.
Den er utrolig velskreven. Man kan mærke varmen, lugte lugtene, se det hele og føle det hele. En bog man virkelig lever sig ind i og lærer nyt af. Bogen er en oplevelse.

Cath and Wren are identical twins, and until recently they did absolutely everything together. Now they're off to university and Wren's decided she doesn't want to be one half of a pair any more - she wants to dance, meet boys, go to parties and let loose. It's not so easy for Cath. She's horribly shy and has always buried herself in the fan fiction she writes, where she always knows exactly what to say and can write a romance far more intense than anything she's experienced in real life.
Without Wren Cath is completely on her own and totally outside her comfort zone. She's got a surly room-mate with a charming, always-around boyfriend, a fiction-writing professor who thinks fan fiction is the end of the civilized world, a handsome classmate who only wants to talk about Words . And she can't stop worrying about her dad, who's loving and fragile and has never really been alone.
Now Cath has to decide whether she's ready to open her heart to new people and new experiences, and she's realizing that there's more to learn about love than she ever thought possible.
En af de bedste nørdede ungdoms/voksenbog som jeg har læst i lang tid. En bog om at turde prøve noget nyt, at turde kaste sig ud i livet.
