Book Review: Always - a book for any woman
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved this book! Although I kind of feel like it is a quilty read, being a New Thought, we are all one kind of person, this book is very empowering to women! The story line is very believable. But the part I like the most is the "How to Defend Yourself" in any situation information. Since it is fiction, you get the information in a very interesting way but it stays with you and there is a happy ending!
Nicola Griffith tells the story of Aud Torvingen, self-defense teacher and private body-guard, hit-type person, who is evolving into someone she doesn't recognize. This book is for folks who enjoy the dark side a little and human evolution.
It is a great book. I really enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone.
Summary of Always
Aud Torvingen is back-contemporary fiction's toughest, most emotionally complicated noir hero returns to teach a new round of lessons in hard-hitting justice, and to confront new adversaries: her own vulnerability and desire.The steely shell of Nicola Griffith's seemingly indomitable protagonist Aud Torvingen appears to be cracking. The six-foot-tall fury (who proved in The Blue Place and Stay that she can kill you as easily as look at you) is shaken by the shocking consequences of the self-defense class she's been teaching, and her investigation of what seems to be run-of-the-mill real-estate fraud is turning out to be more than she bargained for.
Always brilliantly intertwines the dramatic episodes of Aud's class with the increasingly complicated investigation that introduces Aud to the limits of self-reliance, and to the scary and beautiful prospect of allowing oneself to depend on other people. What emerges is a thrilling, thoroughly engrossing novel that imbues Griffith's "classic noir hero" (The New York Times Book Review) with an emotional complexity that far exceeds the boundaries of the genre, and will push Griffith to her well-deserved place at the front rank of new-wave literary crime writers.
