Thank you to the people of Islas Del Rosario for being so welcoming to me. Taking the time or even having the opportunity to actually visit places like this is beyond a blessing. I don’t speak much Spanish, but with a few words, body language and good energy, you can accomplish anything. I was welcomed by the beautiful humans of this island when I arrived into their town. I went with a local that worked at the resort. I was beyond grateful to eat local foods, to be welcomed in their spaces like their bathrooms where I used a toilet to relieve myself. To watch women cook in their kitchens. To sit with humans that lived in a parallel world to mine where a young girl didn’t even want to touch my camera. But even more amazing, we were both very intrigued by how are our skin tones are very much the same. I even saw some 4C hair in town lol I cried as they showed me what it feels like to be a person, not an option on a scantron. Not a label. No prejudices of my character based on media, just Aubri. And that was priceless. #blackgirltravelslay #travelingblackwomen #blackvoyageurs #melanin #travelblog #islasdelrosario #queen #queenin #browngirls #tbb #blacktravel #blacktravelfeed #melswim #swiminmel #browngirls #melanin #blackgirlmagic #blackownedswimwear #blackownedbusiness #femaleentrepreneur #bikini #tbb #blackcocoagirls #browntones #melaninfeed #dewybrowngirls #blackwomen #africanwomen #darkskinwomen #brownskingirls #catagena #cartagenacolombia #colombia (at Islas.

@cissasstuff yes! I mean, anything that forms a bulge in the skin can be called a lump and usually we receive it as a “lump on X location” or “tumor”, “cyst”, whatever they come up with when they’re writing their report. You can always call an infundibular cyst a lump, but a lump may not always be an infundibular cyst! (It can be a lipoma, or a trichilemmal cyst, an hidroadenoma, etc etc).

River Clyde by Simone Buchholz

River Clyde

By Simone Buchholz

Translated by Rachel Ward

Orenda Books

Publication Date 17 March 2022

It is perhaps apt to review a story featuring Simone Buccholz’s Chastity Riley on International Woman’s Day as I feel as a literacy character Riley has epitomised almost all the strengths that you would wish to see in a female character in a crime fiction series. River Clyde is the tenth overall book in this series by Hamburg based author Simone Buccholz and the fifth consecutive novel from the series to be translated into the English language. While in the scope of her work as a public prosecutor Riley has been taken out of Hamburg in the past, in this book, she is drawn to Scotland’s largest city for a very different reason. Riley was aware that her great great grandfather Eòin Riley had been born in Glasgow, however she receives a letter out of the blue which suggests that she has inherited a house from a recently deceased relative.

For Riley who has been on sick leave due to the traumatic experiences she endured in the previous novel in the series “Hotel Cartagena”, the letter comes as an intriguing prospect and a way to break out of her current malaise and negative habitual cycle. While we do continue to follow the story of her colleagues in Hamburg through the story, who are gradually returning to work to investigate a major fire in the city. Hamburg is a duller place without Riley and the mundane time awaiting suspects allows Stephanovic and Calabretta to discuss the absence of their leader. Overall their roles continue to be marginalised in a story which focuses primarily on Riley’s character.

With last year's Hotel Catagena, I wrote that had Buchholz switched tact from multifaceted investigative fiction to absorbing situational fiction. This is further progressed through River Clyde which takes the character into a completely new environment. While you might suspect that Riley would be like a fish out of water away from Hamburg, it becomes clear that her spirit actually begins to feel revitalised on her arrival in Glasgow, finding the city a “dark yet friendly grey”. As a metaphor, this flowing spirit is represented through a portrayal of the flowing artery through the city that the book is named after

I also wrote last year that the previous book in the series showed a writer who was “self-aware to challenge herself, demonstrate further her superb writing capabilities and steer away from rereading familiar ground”. This is definitely the case for River Clyde as the location of Glasgow would be unfamiliar to the majority of Buchholz’s readers. It could even be claimed that the book comes across as an ode to the Scottish city. As one reader who is very familiar with the location, I feel Buchholz attempt to tap into the psyche of city is very successful. I enjoyed her discoveries as she made her way across the city encountering several Glaswegian institutions.

Riley feels very detached from the stuffy solicitor based in Partick whose letter has brought her to the city. She’s suspicious when she’s told that her great aunt Eliza has left her a house. Departing quickly she funds that old habits die hard as she does find herself more comfortable in a nearby pub. However as she gets to know Glasgow, she finds that the place where she really starts to find herself more at home in the working class districts to the east if the city where the locals faces are friendly and faces can be “nicely wonky”. Eòin Riley had lived in Dennistoun before emigrating to America and in nearby Gallowgate where the pubs are more populous even than St Pauli, Riley finds herself in a bar called the Hielan Jessie where she befriends some Glasgow Celtic supporters and encounters that famous Glasgow hospitality – “These men had known me for precisely a couple of minutes but they’re talking to me as though we have been pals for half an eternity; they bare their souls completely.” While in the Hielan Jessie Riley then has a chance encounter with Tom, Eliza’s former lover.

While seeing her own life from a different perspective in Glasgow, Riley learns more about her great aunt and is finally convinced to visit the house that has been left to her. This is located in the relative tranquillity of Garelochhead which is in a rural location which nearby the British nuclear arsenal is housed. Left to her own devices in this house Chastity feels a connection which is spiritual in more ways than one with her great aunt Eliza. Could this compel her to take ownership of the house, leave her old life behind and relocate permanently to Scotland?

Ultimately River Clyde is a journal of self-discovery for Chastity Riley which rounds off a series which has engaged and enthralled a worldwide audience. I would however not recommend it as a starting point and would definitely urge beginners to either begin with Blue Night or at the very least read Hotel Catagena before this book. As per the previous English language versions, this book has been translated by Rachel Ward who yet again does an excellent job of capturing the characterisations and descriptions that Buccholz intended including capturing the gallows humour typical of Glaswegians. The book delves further into Riley’s relationship with her father and as I understand that we will next encounter her far earlier in her career as Buchholz has revised Riley’s first story Gun Heart and this should see the light before the four other books from the series which have not yet appeared in English. So there is very much more to look forward to for fans of Chastity Riley!

Many thanks to Orenda Books for an advance copy of River Clyde and to Anne Cater for inclusion on the blog tour.

#BioAleiSabíasQue?👩‍🦰👩‍🦱🧑‍🦰👩‍🦳 El ciclo de vida del cabello se parece al de una planta🌱. FASE ANAGENA- En su primera fase de crecimiento, el cabello emerge de una raíz bajo el cuero cabelludo llamado folículo piloso y crecerá durante un lapso de dos a siete años. FASE CATAGENA- En la fase siguiente, la base del folículo piloso (el bulbo piloso) se separa del torrente sanguíneo y se acerca a la superficie cutánea para la siguiente fase. FASE TELOGENA- En la fase final del ciclo, el pelo viejo se separará de nuestro cuero cabelludo y cabe la posibilidad de que emerja un nuevo cabello del folículo piloso mediante el mismo ciclo. Esta fase dura de 3 a 4 meses. #TuCabello #BioAlei #SabiasQueBioAlei (en Jabones Artesanales BioAlei) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGPhj4pj7Pw/?igshid=182a47ucun8fj

Sabias que tu pestaña natural tiene un ciclo de vida y que al igual que cualquier vello en el cuerpo nace (fase anagena), crece (fase catagena) y muere (fase telogena)? Este ciclo no es igual en todas y las variaciones se deben a la pre disposición genética, alimentación, cambios hormonales, edad, etc. Cuando veas que tus extensiones caen acompañadas de una pestaña natural no te asustes, es totalmente normal 😉 #EmbelleciendoBellezas #LashMakerCertificada #PestañasPuebla #MiradaPerfecta #MiradaCoqueta #AdiosAlMaquillaje #SofiaPestañas #SofiaExtensiones #Lashes #Volumen #TecnicaClasica #Hibrida #Colors #RusianVolumeLashes #VolumenRusoPuebla #LashExtensionsFantasy #CursosPuebla #CursoPersonalizado #CursosDePestañas #Capacitacion #LashEducator 👀💆🏻‍♀️ https://www.instagram.com/p/CFuRgaCs7He/?igshid=d06oauztfuee

Me encanta catagena. Peru is cool, but there’s something otherworldly about the Caribbean.
