Oh, and Gina, she's great. There is enough back and forth to add tension, but not so much that it has more than a moment of what feels tedious. The highlighted couple is Cam and Gina, who I enjoyed very much. There are several romance story-lines involving estranged married couples during one of those lush house parties that last several weeks with balls, luncheons, and other goings on of the titled upper-crust. Who knows who had the final decision on that one?!ĭue to the era in which this story is set, it was a common practice for couples to be paired in marriage according to status, so it is realistic that couples would become estranged, taking lovers in secret to fill their hearts desires. Duchess in Love by Eloisa James is a historical romance, even though the cover screams contemporary. ![]() ![]() ![]() Sofia's life takes a thrilling and terrifying turn when she is the one selected out of hundreds of girls to join the harem of Derek Novak, the dark royal Prince.ĭespite his addiction to power and obsessive thirst for her blood, Sofia soon realizes that the safest place on the island is within his quarters, and she must do all within her power to win him over if she is to survive even one more night.

We first decided to use the black Vibram 2021 sole, and the mahogany split suede really stood out when we were reviewing sample swatches. ![]() We weren't sure if minimums would be too high for us, unique leathers were available, etc. We're a small shop, both in the sense of being relatively new and having very limited physical real estate. When the idea of a custom Dixon came up, we weren't sure it was even possible at first. ![]() Not only does production happen here, but Santa Rosa also sources their leathers within the U.S. All other accounts are Japanese retailers.

We also wanted to change up the whole look a bit and make an oxford that's a little edgier, slightly more "workwear" inspired, for lack of a better term. ![]() We'd been planning an exclusive Dixon for some time, and we wanted to use a new and different leather, something Santa Rosa had never used before.

The plot is set in motion when Dickens, the city Me lives in, is surreptitiously wiped off the map, triggering an identity crisis in its residents. Me surfs for fun, and smokes weed in the supreme court, where he ends up facing retribution for breaking some of the country’s most hallowed laws about race. ![]() ![]() Farmland in the middle of a poor city is an odd setting, but it’s real enough: you’ll find Richland Farms in the heart of rap-famous Compton, Los Angeles. Me is a black man who owns a farm in a poor black urban neighbourhood. This is convenient, because the novel is written entirely in the first person. Our protagonist is never fully named, but we are told that his surname is Me. The devices are real enough to be believable, yet surreal enough to raise your eyebrows. Everything about The Sellout’s plot is contradictory. ![]() Maybe that’s the point of this whirlwind of a satire. You might even close the book feeling desensitised to one of the most contentious words in the English language. Although the “er” is a harsh and oppressive end to a harsh and oppressive word, his repetitive use comes off with a friendly familiarity. Paul Beatty’s version is the slave master spelling of nigger, not the 90s hip-hop “nigga”. The Sellout is a fast-paced, verbose book, but one particular word crops up again and again. I f there is one thing we know about words you shouldn’t say, it’s that those words end up becoming very alluring. ![]() ![]() ![]() Amelia also discovers that her congenial neighbors have several houseguests, including Cam Rohan. ![]() Retreating to their new country estate, the Hathaways find a crumbling mansion that is located next to the estate of the Earl of Westcliff (married to Lillian in It Happened One Autumn), but ill-health and lack of funds complicates the renovation of the house.
