ReviewsThe Lost Girls of Camp Forevermore is a sensitive, evocative exploration of how the past threads itself through our lives, reemerging in unexpected ways. Kim Fu skillfully measures how long and loudly one formative moment can reverberate." -Celeste Ng, bestselling author of Little Fires Everywhere "Fu's characters are rich, real, and distinct... With rawness and objectivity, Fu depicts the women these girls become along with their struggles, both cosmic and mundane... An ambitious and dynamic portrayal of the harm humans-even young girls-can do." - Kirkus Reviews "Sharp... Readers will delight in the complicated, brash, ugly, and sincere presentation of Fu's characters." - Booklist "For readers interested in evolving friendships and stories that move forward and backward in time, this book is sure to be a hit." - Bookish , "Winter 2018 Fiction Preview" "A vivid and haunting story of lives interrupted by tragedy. The Lost Girls of Camp Forevermore maps the journey from girlhood to womanhood, radiating both nostalgia and hope." -Hala Alyan, author of Salt Houses "The five characters in Kim Fu's dark, deftly woven fable align and disperse like planets, bound in their separate orbits to a shared and perhaps definitive moment in time. Fu traces those orbits with a master astronomer's care and keen observation, mapping in strikingly clear and rich prose a hidden universe of girlhood and becoming." -Michelle Orange, author of This Is Running for Your Life "Kim Fu has woven a story both expansive and intimate, charting the ways that five women who meet briefly as children will ultimately haunt one another for a lifetime. As in her first novel, she writes with a fierce, unflinching clarity about the myriad small guilts, cruelties, frailties, and betrayals we all carry with us. This book is one you won't soon forget." -Angelica Baker, author of Our Little Racket "A startling and clear-sighted examination of the way a single event between children can become a galaxy of trauma, fate, and wonder that spins all the way through adulthood. The Lost Girls of Camp Forevermore is a thoroughly compelling story, and Kim Fu is an assured and intelligent guide." -Arna Bontemps Hemenway, author of Elegy on Kinderklavier "I devoured The Lost Girls of Camp Forevermore . Kim Fu lovingly circles around girlhood and womanhood, following the threads that connect old traumas to new ones, and the hurts that shape us, even when we wish they wouldn't. This is a novel that contains everything anyone could ever want: heartbreak, sly humour, bear cubs, and Fu's wise and steady hand to make sense of it all." -Jen Sookfong Lee, author of The Conjoined "Stunning. Kim Fu explores the lifelong ripple effects of tragedy, writing with wit, heart and precision. A cast of characters both flawed and fascinating. I was utterly transfixed by this book." -Katrina Onstad, author of Everybody Has Everything "

Prescient Book, Classic Orwell
If there are 2 books that should be required reading for all citizens of any country, Animal Farm and 1984 are the 2. 1984 seems eerily prescient about the modern world in which we live, a world where a central government controls every facet of peoples' lives. Winston Smith is the protagonist and works in the Ministry of Truth where his job is to eliminate from history anything that may disagree with the accepted governmental thought. 1984 was originally written as a warning of what might or could happen, but it seems it's being used as a planning template by many governments nowadays. Orwell's writing is simple but taut and the reader will find many quotable passages here. The second book in this volume is Animal Farm, a wicked satire of Marxism/Communism and it's also a very enjoyable read. 2 books in 1 volume, an excellent addition to any home library.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Excellent books.
I had read both books many years ago but they seem so much more when I read them again after the passage of so many years. They are cautionary stories for our time particularly 1984. I have seen a lot of history pass in my lifetime and mankind seems to be fated to repeat the same mistakes. How very unfortunate . I do highly recommend both books. When you read 1984, think if it reminds you of what is playing out currently in our country and the world.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Animal Farm and "2030"
Two great books in one. A satirical view of Communism and it's effect on present and future societies. One must know a little bit of Communist Soviet history in order to understand Animal Farm and "1984" is the final refinement of Communism mixed with technology as foreseen in 1949, of the future, which is becoming more real every day. Reading these books is apparently no longer required reading in elementary or high schools today. For a well rounded view of societal life, this is a must read!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Great reads... George was a prophet.
I taught both of these novels as an educator. Now I am retired and seems time has made them reality instead of fiction. I reread both again and am now sharing them. Great hardcover with quality paper and printing. Introduction was also a good read.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Very relevant in today's world
These are books that I read decades ago, but they seem relevant today so I wanted to reread them. They arrived in excellent condition and in a reasonable amount of time. I haven't yet had time to read them, but I'm looking forward to doing that.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Old Classics
I read these years ago as a young man, back in the 70's. I needed to read them again, to compare it to current politics. Scaringly accurate.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Excellent book, well printed, couldn't ask for more.
First read 1984 about 1953. Considreing the stste of the country I thought it deserved another reading, it is frightening when today is compared to the book. The book itself came from India and was first class and well printed. The same goes for Animal Farm.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
