Shortlisted for the International Booker Prize 2020 1872. The pampas of Argentina. China is a young woman eking out an existence in a remote gaucho encampment. After her no-good husband is conscripted into the army, China bolts for freedom, setting off on a wagon journey through the pampas in the company of her new-found friend Liz, a settler from Scotland. While Liz provides China with a sentimental education and schools her in the nefarious ways of the British Empire, their eyes are opened to the wonders of Argentina’s richly diverse flora and fauna, cultures and languages, as well as to the ruthless violence involved in nation-building. This subversive retelling of Argentina’s foundational gaucho epic Martín Fierro is a celebration of the colour and movement of the living world, the open road, love and sex, and the dream of lasting freedom. With humour and sophistication, Gabriela Cabezón Cámara has created a joyful, hallucinatory novel that is also an incisive critique of national myths.

After the long exile on Earth, John Carter finally returned to his beloved Mars. But beautiful Dejah Thoris, the woman he loved, had vanished. Now he was trapped in the legendary Eden of Mars -- an Eden from which none ever escaped alive. The Gods of Mars is a science fantasy novel by American writer Edgar Rice Burroughs, the second of his Barsoom series. It was first published in The All-Story as a five-part serial in the issues for January-May 1913.[1] It was later published as a complete novel by A. C. McClurg in September, 1918. Excerpt: For moments after that awful laugh had ceased reverberating through the rocky room, Tars Tarkas and I stood in tense and expectant silence. But no further sound broke the stillness, nor within the range of our vision did aught move.At length Tars Tarkas laughed softly, after the manner of his strange kind when in the presence of the horrible or terrifying. It is not an hysterical laugh, but rather the genuine expression of the pleasure they derive from the things that move Earth men to loathing or to tears.Often and again have I seen them roll upon the ground in mad fits of uncontrollable mirth when witnessing the death agonies of women and little children beneath the torture of that hellish green Martian fete-the Great Games. I looked up at the Thark, a smile upon my own lips, for here in truth was greater need for a smiling face than a trembling chin.

Reader review, 5 stars She's fallen into enemy territory. Can she find a way out? Geraldine Fitz-Herbert, known to those close to her as Fitz, might have grown up amidst the British aristocracy and its endless matchmaking schemes, but she's never quite fit into that world. She'd much rather take to the skies, the one place where she can truly be free. As war breaks out, Fitz refuses to let societal conventions tie her down and volunteers at the Air Transport Auxiliary, eager to serve her king and country. But a chance encounter with charismatic American flight officer Sam Carter changes everything. While Fitz has always been focused on the job, Sam's lingering glances and roguish smile stir feelings she can't ignore. Before long, they're embarking on a passionate affair, introducing Fitz to a love unlike any she's known - until the harsh reality of war intervenes. When Fitz's piloting and linguistic skills are discovered, she's sent on a top-secret mission to join the local resistance in Brittany. Brave and determined, she throws herself into the operation, only to face a terrifying German ambush upon arrival. Stranded alone in enemy territory, with no backup or help, Fitz must rely on her wits and courage to find her way back to safety - and back to Sam.
