Rebecca Traister’s Good and Mad gave me the history that I so desperately wanted in order to understand my anger-after everything from 2016 to being catcalled walking down the street for what felt like the millionth time. Brittney Cooper’s Eloquent Rage made me feel empowered as a woman of color to express the rage and frustration I have for a system that isn’t built for me, a system of inequities and inequalities that I should be able to question and, when necessary, express rage toward. To be fair, I say this about a lot of essay collections.

A rollicking tale of piracy on a grand scale, accented with breathtaking maritime maneuvers, near misses, and broadside hits, Sabatini’s fast-paced novel is alive with color, romance, and excitement. Sentenced to ten years of slavery on a Barbados plantation, Blood escapes from captivity and boldly embarks on a career as a pirate, never losing sight of his goals of clearing his name and returning to England.

Leah and Adah, who are in their mid-teens, are identical twins, except that Adah suffers from hemiplegia, a blood condition that leaves her unable to control one side of her body. Ruth May, who’s only five years old, is terrified by her father, and by his sermons on Jesus Christ. Nathan is a hypocritical, boorish father and husband, and his wife and children secretly resent him. The novel is narrated from the perspectives of the five Price women.
