. Welcome to the Brutal Buzz, I am IndieVisible and will be your host.
February may be short but it is packed with feelings. Here are a few books that feel the same.
February is a brief month that lingers. The days are short on sunlight and long on emotion. The newness of resolutions fades far more quickly than the piles of snow growing in the streets. Valentine's Day doesn't help matters, breeding dread in much of the population and causing emotions to run riot — despair, fear, love, and some unholy combination of all three.
The titles below are novels that embody February. Some are turbulent and choppy, while others are beautifully lyrical; some bleed hard truths, and some are easy reads. All of them are short and brimming with emotion.
Tinkers by Paul Harding
George Washington Carver is dying. The elderly clock repairman withers on his deathbed throughout Paul Harding’s remarkable debut novel. Amidst delusion and suffering, Carver remembers his life and his father, Howard. In the living room of the house he built, Carver evaluates the life he’s leaving. Tinkers is a slow, contemplative, and quiet book with long, beautiful descriptions of snow, dirt, and ticking clocks vivid enough to fill your senses for days.
Recommended for: The literature lover who wants to slow down. And those trapped inside because of massive snow drifts.

Sula by Toni Morrison
Toni Morrison is best known for her Nobel Prize-winning novel Beloved, but her second novel Sula also features the emotional heft, racial analysis, and strong female protagonists for which Morrison is known. The novel follows the growth of Nel and Sula’s friendship as they fight to overcome overwhelming trauma throughout the course of their lives. Sula is more than a story about female friendship; it is a novel about how people live when reconciliation isn’t an option and betrayal becomes expected. Devotion in many forms is the backbone of Sula, whether it manifests as a dangerous, bulletproof love or a fiery, unforgivable passion.
Recommended for: Anyone interested in the impact that race in America can have on personal lives, and anyone with a best friend for a valentine.
