Beautyland

From the acclaimed author of Parakeet, Marie-Helene Bertino's Beautyland is a wise, tender novel about a woman who doesn't feel at home on Earth.

At the moment when Voyager 1 is launched into space carrying its famous golden record, a baby of unusual perception is born to a single mother in Philadelphia. Adina Giorno is tiny and jaundiced, but she reaches for warmth and light. As a child, she recognizes that she is different: She possesses knowledge of a faraway planet. The arrival of a fax machine enables her to contact her extraterrestrial relatives, beings who have sent her to report on the oddities of Earthlings.

For years, as she moves through the world and makes a life for herself among humans, she dispatches transmissions on the terrors and surprising joys of their existence. Then, at a precarious moment, a beloved friend urges Adina to share her messages with the world. Is there a chance she is not alone?

Marie-Helene Bertino's Beautyland is a novel of startling originality about the fragility and resilience of life on our Earth and in our universe. It is a remarkable evocation of the feeling of being in exile at home, and it introduces a gentle, unforgettable alien for our times.

I (still) like it
Color: B Black
Looks solid, considering it is lightweight plastic. Very large. I have a large wrist and still I needed to remove 3 links. Link removal took a while to figure out. Needed the video (QR code in box), a bright light and magnifying glasses (to see the inside arrows and tiny pins). It seems to keep good time, though the hands are slightly off -- for example, at 3 o'clock, the hour hand is a bit after 3, not right on 3. At 6:15, it seems it will be 7 very soon. Maybe it will make me early for a change LOL. Mostly I just really need a watch to tell the time, without having to pull out my phone. This does the job, with a bit of style and a touch of irony. Update, after 5 months of daily use: The watch still looks good and the timepiece still functions. Sadly, a small piece of plastic broke off the watch band, where the pin connects, so the band will not stay together. It is a larger piece of the band, near the dial, so there are not extra links of that size to repair it. There does not appear to be a warranty. Up to this point, I have received several compliments on the watch. I agree that the contrast is rather eye-catching. I may buy a second one and use the first watch for parts.

Cheap dial
Color: E Gold Black
As a whole it's a quartz plastic watch for under $20...I'm disappointed in the poor looking dial quality. The case seems fine for a plastic watch, it's no Swatch but not a bad case. Shame the dial looks so cheap, it may have passed at a glance as a nice watch otherwise.

NOT WORTH IT
Color: E All Black
Not worth the money in my opinion. Very light weight. Almost like wearing a child's watch. Cheaply made.
