Derry Girls is a coming-of-age story of four girls against the backdrop of war and political turmoil: The Irish sitcom follows Erin, Orla, Clare, Michelle, and their male accomplice, James, as they go to high school during the Troubles — a period of conflict in Northern Ireland that lasted about 30 years. The four girls are keen to cause trouble as they venture through crushes, concerts, detention, gossip, and cliques. The show is hilarious and its wit transcends across different cultures, with viewers not needing any background on the Irish conflict to enjoy the show. The historical aspect actually gives the show an added edge and storyline while playing a constant indirect role in the girl’s character development. The first two seasons are out on Netflix, but the third season wasn’t added to the streaming site.

???? UNDER THE LAMPLIGHT-

A family divided as their community faces gentrification: Neruda on the Park by Cleyvis Natera follows a Dominican family living in a New York neighborhood that is slowly being gentrified. The parents, Eusebia and Vladimir, have a very different reaction to the character of the neighborhood being erased than their daughter Luz who is in fact dating one of the developers that wants to put up luxury apartments. This puts mother and daughter at opposite ends of the spectrum where Eusebia is leading a protest movement against the development while Luz strives to live a more upscale lifestyle while working at a top Manhattan law firm. The novel is a multi-layered exploration of immigration, community, and survival that Natera deftly unfolds in a place under threat.
