And I find her accent, irritating, because that’s definitely not how poor white Floridians - those who live in the small rural towns, not Miami or Orlando - speak.

For those who don’t know Anna Paquin was raised in New Zealand. This might be due to the really lousy casting of Anna Paquin as the reader. Oranges are not the only fruit held up for me but not this. Re-reading this book about 30 years later I’m less impressed with it than I was the first time around. At the time I read this, I read oranges are not the only fruit, and some thing else which my brain all smashed together. There’s a bunch of books that I read at that time, and I seem to have mush them all together in my brain, because I genuinely believed that the story was different than this. I was directed towards reading this book during a period when I was questioning my sexuality. ![]() A classic in the genre of lesbian literatureīack when I was an undergraduate, I am now retired. ![]()

The stage management of events is pretty shameless, but it's as enjoyable as a 1930s Hollywood movie. ![]() Despite the bleak and terrible realities Dickens describes – the savagery of the regime at Dotheboys Hall, the depravities of Sir Mulberry Hawk and the implacable destructiveness of Ralph Nickleby – it has the sweep and gusto of a great melodrama. I was initially attracted to the book for obvious reasons: I was an actor, and the glorious celebration of the theatre, not just in the episodes concerning Vincent Crummles and his troupe of down-at-heel showpeople but in the whole form and structure of the book, exhilarated me, and it still does. Dickens started writing Nicholas Nickleby only a year after Pickwick, as part of that astonishing trio of novels (of which the middle one was Oliver Twist) that he knocked off in a breathless 18 months, and it partakes of the same ebullient energy and free-wheeling inventiveness as the earlier book. ![]() ![]() So begins Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982, Cho Nam-Joo's daring excavation of a young woman crumbling under the strain of unrelenting misogyny, which has sold over a million copies in its native South Korea.
