![]() ![]() This story functions as a retelling, but it’s not a retelling in the strictest sense. It is one of my favourite plays, and my dream is to one day play Ariel in an interactive play that takes place on a tiny island, where the audience have to follow the characters around the island to get the story. If you know me, you know I love Shakespeare and you also know I’ve performed twice as Ariel from The Tempest. And I am so very glad that this book is one of the ones I’ve read in the early stages of me going through her bibliography. I’ve only really read two books by her so far, but I will love those books with all my heart and also definitely read more of her books before my time is up. A few months after reading Nutshell by Ian McEwan, I read this wonderful book, and the experience was, by far, much more enjoyable.įirst of all, I love Margaret Atwood. ![]()

Pain in your feet may even be the first sign of a systemic problem. And many foot problems, including hammertoes, blisters, bunions, corns and calluses, claw and mallet toes, ingrown toenails, toenail fungus, and athlete’s foot, can develop from neglect, ill-fitting shoes, and simple wear and tear. The foot’s myriad parts, including the toes, heel, and ball, work together to get you from one place to another.īut the stress of carrying you around puts your feet at high risk of injury, higher than any other body part. Indeed, the foot is an evolutionary marvel, capable of handling hundreds of tons of force - your weight in motion - every day. The human foot has 26 bones, 33 joints, and more than 100 muscles, ligaments, and tendons made of strong fibrous tissues to keep all the moving parts together - not to mention more sweat glands than any other part of the body. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Ka encounters government officials, idealistic students, leftist theater groups and the charismatic and perhaps terroristic Blue while trying to convince Ipek to return to Germany with him each conversation pits warring ideologies against each other and against Ka's own weary melancholy.
