Running late to meet up with her sister (who’s in town to celebrate making partner at her NYC law firm), she quickly jumps into the closest open elevator. Young, black, single, well-educated and a bit of a workaholic – Alexa is mostly content with her busy life when The Wedding Date opens. ![]() Guillory’s writing style, and The Wedding Date, while charming, is simply average in every way.Īlexa Monroe is chief of staff for the mayor of Berkeley, California. I liked the premise, the pairing and the settings… but I was never invested in the story or Ms. Guillory introduces two appealing principals, the story is predictable and flat, and her characters spend too much time in their own heads and physically separated (he lives in Los Angeles, she lives in Berkeley) – doubting and second-guessing their relationship the whole way through. Based on early buzz, I had high hopes for The Wedding Date. ![]() 5/22/2023 0 Comments Song of the lioness series order![]() Tamora Pierce (Goodreads Author) 4.25 avg rating 1,123,498 ratings.

He spent much of his life in hospitals, and died before he turned three. Shortly after Delaney’s son Henry turned one, he was diagnosed with brain cancer. “Despite the obvious talents of its author,” one reviewer wrote, the over-all effect was “a bit thin.” And yet “The Easy Life” is constructed with the same torqued intensity as all her fiction, seeding the problems that will eventually become Durassian preoccupations: the anguish of poverty, the vertigo of young love, the pull of biological conformity, and the struggle of women to reconcile the requirements of feminine competence with the disorganizing effects of sexual desire. The book sold out on its first printing, but its critical reception was lukewarm. In a style differing from the bald obliquity that characterizes Duras’s more famous books and films, feelings and adjectives stick together like plums that have fallen from a tree and formed a putrid mass. ![]() Here, Duras’s sentences assume a voluptuousness that Olivia Baes and Emma Ramadan do a remarkable job of translating. ![]() ![]() “La Vie Tranquille” (1944), Duras’s second novel-translated into English as “ The Easy Life”-is a coming-of-age story that dwells on what a young woman must relinquish to the activity of tidying up life. ![]() 5/22/2023 0 Comments Fox's Book of Martyrs by John Foxe![]() ![]() While Foxe was by no means an impartial writer, and his presentation of history is selective and peppered with comment, his access to the evidence from very recent trials and eye-witness accounts renders his work generally reliable.

His first studies were of the early Christian martyrs, the victims of the Inquisition, and the followers of Wycliffe and Tyndale, who supported the reading of the Bible in English.

In the title chapter, Jensen connects the trauma of school shootings with her own experiences of racism and sexual assault on college campuses.

The story's plot seems to take a backseat to historical detail: while readers will likely suspect the revelations to come, they are a long time in arriving, and the story offers little in the way of closure. Lasky is at her best in evoking Hannah's aquatic preoccupation and the way it molds her perception of everything around her. Domestic work brings Hannah the opportunity to experience many marvelous things, but what draws and troubles her most are portrait painter Stannish Whitman Wheeler, who seems to understand her in uncanny ways, and the eldest daughter of the house, Lila Hawley, whose malice is equally inexplicable.

There's even a point where Corrie wonders if part of the reason she hops from country to country is the urge to flee due to the period where she was imprisoned. And, what a life she lived! To live with that kind of faith and the desire to see the peoples of the world. The last section of Beautiful Courage focuses on her life after being released. However, it does go into detail about the events leading up to her arrest and her time in Ravensbruck. ![]() Beautiful Courage pays particular attention to her her story before WWII. I love how he also incorporates stories from others in her family. Written by Sam Wellman, Beautiful Courage explores the life of Corrie ten Boom. God Is My Hiding Place is based on Corrie ten Boom's writings.Īfter reading God Is My Hiding Place, I felt a strong desire to learn more about Ms. Then, I was given the opportunity to read the devotional, God Is My Hiding Place. But, when my mother-in-law said that The Hiding Place was among her favorite books, I wanted to give it a try. Admittedly, I hadn't read a Christian biography for many years. The Hiding Place is Corrie ten Boom's haunting WWII memoir. ![]() I read The Hiding Place a few years back.
