Does every man secretly desire his father’s death? The great biographer Richard Ellmann believed there was something in this idea, noting that it recurs in the work of, among others, Dostoevsky, Turgenev, Edmund Gosse and JM Synge; and in his new book about the fathers of Oscar Wilde, WB Yeats and James Joyce, the novelist Colm Tóibín quietly suggests that it was only thanks to a certain paternal absence that their sons were able to release their genius into the world. Death itself, of course, often took its time: John Butler Yeats and John Stanislaus Joyce both lived into their 80s. But while their sons patiently, and sometimes not so patiently, waited – even if they didn’t know exactly what it was that they were waiting for – they also, in various other ways, set about hurrying things along. An ambitious project . . . a pastry-rich and knowledgeable portrait of Paris, with details that redolently evoke but never overwhelm, and Khayyam is an interesting and cosmopolitan protagonist (she’s French, American, and Muslim and comments thoughtfully on the contradictions and intersections of those cultures) with an unusual vocation. Altogether, it’s a Parisian romance with a seasoning of intrigue, a dollop of feminism, a soupçon of caper action, and a lashing of scholarship.” OMG! Isn’t it enchanting idea to read a book about two powerful women from different time lines who want to raise their voices and tell their stories! One of them is in Paris, searching for the deepest secrets hid behind a remarkable drawing with a charming French guy carries his descendant Alexandre Dumas’ name!

I thought Khayyam was well-crafted and she was definitely a fun character to follow through all of her adventures in Paris. I also really appreciated her love for history and thought that was written really well. Spruijt BM, Van Hooff JA, Gispen WH: Ethology and neurobiology of grooming behavior.

Her writing is mesmerising. The switching of PoV is so easy to navigate. Not just because of the font difference or the timeline difference.

J Mammal 1942, 23(2):159–166. 10.2307/1375068 The loris brachial gland may mirror the defensive spur of the male platypus, which has evolved as a seasonal offensive weapon used only during the breeding season, and could explain why loris venom is only sometimes potent to its recipients [ 4]. Alternatively, the venom could be used for intersexual competition. Male lorises have large testes, which could be a sign of high male-male competition for females. The few days during which mating can occur are replete with intense competition and fighting between males and females. Throughout the year, females maintain tightly defended territories that they share only with their offspring and one to three other males [ 15]. Bite wounds in captivity and in the wild have been a major cause of morbidity and mortality, with fatal head wounds being the most common [ 26, 49]. In a review of 30 years of morbidity records from North American zoos, Fuller et al.[ 50] found that trauma was a significant contributor of mortality to both adult and immature animals. Indeed, several animals died following bite wounds that were chronically non-healing, leading to necrosis, septicaemia, lung edema, and cellulitis. These non-healing wounds are also frequent in rescue centres, with multiple veterinarians stating that if a loris bites another, its chances of surviving are slim [ 10]. The two women’s stories are told in a way that amplifies both of their voices into something unforgettable.”

I felt like we barely got a glimpse into what was going on with her because all of her chapters were really short and, as a result didn't really add much to the overall story, in my opinion. Her story was really intriguing to me and I wish we had gotten to see more of it.

Stemming from that, I really liked the way the mystery unfolded in this story and the way it all came together at the end. I really liked how Samira Ahmed carried through the theme of erased and forgotten history over the course of the entire story. I thought it was really well-developed and explored thoroughly, especially through Leila and Khayyam's connection to each other. I also really appreciated the fact that it took place in Paris because the aesthetic? Unmatched. Although my feelings at points oscillated, I really enjoyed the ending. At the core of it, it's a YA story led by an #ownvoices Muslim heroine, investigating another historical Muslim woman whose story was neglected and rewritten and reinterpreted by men such as Byron to frame white men as the saviors. For readers who enjoy hearing tales of forgotten stories recently dredged out of the passing of time, and those who enjoy mysteries centered around history, this one could be a worthy addition to the TBR.

Around the time of a potential selection event, the climate in the Southeast Asia underwent a number of dramatic fluctuations, largely altering the vegetation [ 74– 77]. Coinciding with intermittent land bridge formations, a band of drier more seasonally adapted woodland ran from north of the Malay Peninsula down as far as Java replacing the more tropical forests [ 76]. This habitat alteration may have benefitted some animals in allowing an easier migration south through the more savannah-like landscape, but for others it acted as a species isolation barrier [ 78, 79]. For Nycticebus this change in habitat to a more open savannah-like environment and a different array of predators may have provided the initial selection impetus towards mimicry.
