Written with great affection by a dad as proud as he is bemused and unsurprisingly so, since all of this happened by complete fluke. Great story, peppered with genuinely funny and well-paced anecdotes, I grinned throughout and laughed out loud many times.

Both are stories of the ways women survive in dehumanizing wars; both primarily present young, complicated women who find ways to cope and try to find meaning in their positions in life; both are highly sex-adjacent ( Ruined takes place in a bar-brothel, Eclipsed is centered around what amounts to a concubine); and both are ultimately demonstrate how woman find agency in situations that usually don't acknowledge women's agency. Having loved the first edition of Eclipsed, I was excited to hear this story again through the audiobook medium. A detailed climatological study identifies areas along the eclipse path where the highest probability of favorable weather may be found. We're only fifteen years separate from this exact conflict, and others like it - for example, the Boko Haram kidnappings - are even more recent.

Now it's here, the first comprehensive analysis of the entire oeuvre of an exquisite selection of 20 of the greatest bands and solo artists from the wide field of rock music. The dichotomy between father and son and how they approach people in the show business is equally interesting to read about as are the core values that the father tries to instill into his sons. I am posting on this site because I want dominichollandbooks to become the place for all information re my writing – so thanks to those of you who are here now and for following the dedicated IG and Twitter handles. Although I am a English woman in her mid (cough-late) 40's, Dominic Holland was not a name I recognised from the tellybox. Eclipsed is a powerful story about women surviving in a world where women are more property than human.

Written with great affection by a day as bemused as he is proud, Eclipsed is a hilarious story and insight into family life. A set of 20 detailed maps, each covering a 50-year period and centered on the lower 48 states, shows the path of every total and annular eclipse. But Dominic’s favourite quote comes from the late Bob Monkhouse – ‘Dominic Holland is the UK’s funniest not-yet-famous comedian. I loved this book years ago when I read it and I enjoyed it even more the second time around as the audiobook.This play is an excellent examination of war and womanhood, and the different paths women take for some semblance of personal freedom. I think you will walk away feeling warm and encouraged, with a new interesting perspective of a kind and genuine family on a crazy one-in-a-million experience.
