In this novel, Edward Hyde is the Chief of Detectives in Edinburgh and is tasked with solving a murder that may be related to ancient Celtic customs and sinister secret societies. But whatever is buried inside Hyde himself might just be as horrific as the murder he's investigating.
This novel is described on the author's website as “A stunning Gothic masterpiece” and I have no argument with that. The writing is often lyrical, the main character engaging and sympathetic, and the story is mystical, haunting, richly layered and steeped in Celtic mythology. One of the best books I've read in a long time.
"Brain Energy: A Revolutionary Breakthrough in Understanding Mental Health--and Improving Treatment for Anxiety, Depression, OCD, PTSD, and More" by Christopher M. Palmer MD. (Harvard trained psychiatrist)
Amazing book about treating mental health with diet, exercise, meditation etc. I got it yesterday from the public library. I'm reading it now, online format. I read half of it in less than 24 hours.
I listened to this doctor for the first time on YouTube some years ago, two maybe or something like that. His book is a life changing book for people suffering from mental illness and other metabolism illnesses.
I finished my book club read -- Mobility by Lydia Kiesling-- yesterday. It was a 4-star read for me. The synopsis:
The year is 1998. The Soviet Union is dissolved, the Cold War is over, and Bunny Glenn is a lonely American teenager in Azerbaijan with her Foreign Service family. Through Bunny’s bemused eyes, we watch global interests flock to her temporary backyard for Caspian oil and pipeline access, hearing rumbles of the expansion of the American security state and the buildup to the War on Terror. We follow Bunny from adolescence to middle age―from Baku to Athens to Houston―as her own ambition and desire for comfort lead her to a career in the oil industry, eventually returning to the scene of her youth, where slippery figures from the past reappear in an era of political and climate breakdown. Through Bunny’s life choices, the author explores American forms of complicity and inertia, moving between the local and the global, the personal and the political, and using fiction’s singular power to illuminate a life shaped by its context.
