![]() ![]() ![]() That’s hot! And parts of the romance were fun and sexy. I liked the romance in theory: gang leader falls for innocent girl. I loved the danger and how people were standing up to violence, gangs, and all that goes with them (drugs, sex trafficking, etc.). The gang and thrill part of On the Edge was pretty awesome. The novel showcases a gritty, realistic voice and earth–shattering romance that will intrigue readers of Simone Elkeles and Paul Griffin and captivate fans of Allison van Diepen's other novels. On the Edge is a compelling story about fighting for what’s right and figuring out where you belong. But when they live this close to the edge, can their love survive? Lobo is mysterious and passionate, and Maddie begins to fall for him. Now, as the only witness, she knows there’s a target on her back.īut when the Reyes jump her on the street, Maddie is protected by a second gang and their secretive leader, Lobo, who is determined to take down the Reyes himself. If she hadn't, she wouldn't have seen two members of the Reyes gang attacking a homeless man. Maddie Diaz never should have taken that shortcut through the park.

In many ways this is reminiscent of the ideas explored in Star Trek: The Next Generation, but Le Guin was writing about this a good twenty years earlier.

In a sense, they are like brothers, sharing an adolescence, a successful business relationship and many aspects of their adult lives – even their flats are situated together in the same apartment block.Īlthough the two friends rarely think alike on any subject, their personalities complement one another perfectly – a genuine case of how opposites can attract.

Filippa’s long-departed French suitor charges them with the safety and employment of Babette (Stéphane Audran, shining with quiet authority), a widowed refugee from the Paris commune who lives as their cook, applying her gastronomic skill to the most pedestrian of Scandinavian dishes, until a financial windfall enables her to prepare a special nouvelle cuisine banquet for the women and their increasingly fractious community. Elderly sisters Filippa and Martine (Bodil Kjer and Birgitte Federspiel), the flamekeepers of an ascetic Christian sect founded by their late father, have settled into a charity-based but routine life in a village along the “grandiose and unspoiled” Jutland coast. Adapted from a short story by Karen Blixen, the Danish baroness who wrote as Isak Dinesen, it’s an elemental tale of faith, cultural discomfort, and artistry as both a key to identity and an act of love. ![]() Superficially resembling many an awards-bait horse that followed in its wake, Gabriel Axel’s Babette’s Feast may not be an auteurist classic, but it remains one of the most sublime and transporting of all food-centric movies. ![]() ![]() ![]() If she must go, they'd rather she be reunited with Owen in spite of his betrayal.
