Book Review: Beautyland by Marie-Helene Bertino

Author: Marie-Helene Bertino
Title: Beautyland
Narrator: Andi Arndt
Publication Info: Dreamscape, 2024
Summary/Review:
At the same time as the Voyager I launch in 1977, Adina is born to a working-class single mother in Philadelphia. Adina is different from other children in that she’s actually an alien. She lives the life of a human reporting what she learns to the others on her home planet through a fax machine. Stretching from the 1970s to close to the present day, Beautyland is the story of Adina’s life through all the struggles and joys an ordinary human might experience.  It’s beautifully written with Adina’s observations on the mundane and the profound both fascinating.  This book works if it’s a science fiction story about an actual alien or if it’s a metaphor for a human’s isolation and alienation from others.

Rating: ****

“You actually skipped the lie… that last bit. ‘Love you.’ That was the lie.”

Episode 7 is about the moment when truth becomes a weapon, when two people finally say the things they’ve been avoiding for years.
If you’ve been following Doug and Charlotte, this is the chapter where everything tilts.
