![]() ![]() Mann also scrutinizes her relationship with Gee-Gee, the African American woman who ran their household for 50 years. Here, too, are staggering family secrets, including her in-laws’ deceptive lives and violent deaths, her Mayflower-blue-blood mother’s scandalously unconventional childhood, and her self-sacrificing country-doctor father’s complicated legacy of slave ownership, wealth, and philanthropy. She also shares, for the first time, the dark side of her notoriety, as well as the daring adventures behind more recent photographic series. Mann confesses her aversion to wearing clothes as a “near-feral child,” and her lifelong love for the land on which she and her husband have lived for more than 40 years. Writing was Mann’s first creative calling, and her prose has the same firepower as the many photographs that illustrate this searching, witty, and gothic inquiry into family, place, and art. In spite of the controversy, Mann has never compromised her intrepid visual curiosity or forensic lyricism, and now, in this zestful, lushly textured, candid, and jolting family memoir, she reveals the deep wellsprings of her most poetic and disconcerting images. ![]() Photographer Mann’s book, Immediate Family (1992), aroused immediate outrage over its nude photographs of her three beloved children at their secluded Virginia farm. ![]() ![]() ![]() Rather than becoming a religious missionary as his parents had hoped, Gosse became a literary evangelist, preaching a love of poetry, fiction, and drama. ![]() Gosse’s parents belonged to the Plymouth Brethren, and much of Father and Son concerns Gosse’s growing resistance to their religious expectations of him. This autobiographical novel describes his family life up to the age of twenty-one, with his father, Philip Henry Gosse (b. 1810–d. 1888), a prolific and popular author of books on natural history and religion, and his mother, Emily Bowes-Gosse (b. 1806–d. 1857), a writer of evangelical narrative tracts. Although he worked in several genres-as poet, playwright, biographer, essayist, critic, literary historian, and bibliophile-the modernist contempt for all things Victorian meant that Gosse’s wider oeuvre fell into obscurity, and his posthumous reputation was sustained by only one book: Father and Son (1907). ![]() Edmund William Gosse (b. 1849–d. 1928) was the preeminent man of letters during the late Victorian and Edwardian periods. ![]() ![]() ![]() Orka maintains her tunnel vision in her pursuit of her son, and while her blinders lead to less than advisable decisions, her character continues to be one of my favorite female characters of all time. Elvar was arguably the weakest POV from the last book, but her story grows in strength throughout this book until a shocking series of events at the end leaves her potential limitless. Elvar and the Battle-Grim are still reeling, taking stock following Biorr’s betrayal and the freeing of Lik Rifa. The Hunger of the Gods picks up immediately in the aftermath of The Shadow of the Gods. I’ll openly acknowledge that I’m toeing the line into fangirling, but I can’t stop recommending this series. In addition, I usually listen to my audiobooks at 1.5x to 2x the normal narration speed, however I deliberately dialed back the speed with The Hunger of the Gods in order to fully savor this story. For the first time ever, I yo-yoing between my Kindle and audiobook, utilizing whatever medium is most appropriate at that moment. ![]() What if this next installment didn’t live up to the first? Thankfully, my concerns proved unfounded, as I couldn’t put down this second book of The Bloodsworn Saga.

Thankfully, she has Maddy, a neighbor and animal rescuer who accepts her for who she is.
