ErskineTherefore I have truly enjoyed reading this book. I love to hear different versions and perspectives of the same story. I’ve always found original and attractive the narrative technique used to shape this tale. And thus, colleagues, friends, family, enemies and even the suspect himself, will offer us their own story. Through independent chapters in snapshots mode, each one follows a different character directly involved in this tragic event. What seems an open and shut case soon becomes convoluted given the identity of the main suspect.

If you would like to see Piet Oudolf’s garden-or to visit it again-you will have to head for Hummelo on a Thursday, Friday, or Saturday afternoon between July 26 and the final day on October 27. The Oudolfs want to be free to travel more frequently, and have decided not to reopen the nursery after it closes for the year in October, 2018. But this is the last time they will do so. He and his wife, Anja, who runs the business with him, have opened the garden to the public for a few days a week each summer since 1982, shortly after moving to Hummelo. Oudolf, now seventy-three, has cultivated and studied thousands of species on his three-acre plot in Hummelo to observe how each one responds to changes in the weather and light, and whatever else is growing around it. It belongs to the Dutch plantsman, Piet Oudolf, who has used it as a nursery-cum-laboratory for over thirty-five years to research the planting schemes he has designed for, among other places, the High Line in New York and Lurie Garden in Chicago’s Millennium Park. Summer after summer, garden lovers from all over the world have traveled to Hummelo, a remote farming community in the eastern Netherlands, to visit a remarkable garden. Jack Kerouac Is Dead to Me reminded me exactly why I adore a well written YA contemporary novel. I don't think I can give this book the proper justice it deserves, but here we go. "I lie back on his pillow, my head spinning, and for one split second I think how crazy it will be when I get home and tell Aubrey everything. I'd love to interact with you here or there. You may also find me on Instagram or twitter or on facebook here. But for the most part, I'm only going to add the word recommended.Īs for writer-me, if you want to know more about me, you can find me at my website,. Because of this, it feels arbitrary and capricious to assign them, and I'd rather merely provide (in some cases) my brief thoughts on the book (unless I really can't help myself in giving it 5-stars, which usually means I wish there were lots more to give.). A 3-star review, for example, can mean such different things to readers and reviewers, some rarely give more, so 3 means pretty great, to others 3 is barely mediocre. Please note that, although I originally tried to assign star-ratings to my book reviews (and, thus, you will see some of my favorite books with stars), I have stopped doing so. I am a wannabe mermaid and the author of THE MEMORY OF THINGS, SEVEN CLUES TO HOME and several other novels for readers young, old or in between. Colley insists that even the most unlikely autocracies were keen to be seen as being on the constitutional route. Political theorists such as Rousseau and Bentham could normally be assumed to be working on a constitution for somewhere, a case of general principles tweaked for particular circumstances. The proliferation of written constitutions after 1750, aided by increases in literacy and the falling costs of printing, is undeniable. The written constitutions are necessary because men (literally) have to be taxed and enlisted and – more generally – incorporated into the polity. The guns and ships create global possibilities for war and empire. Warships that encircle the planet, guns that kill at half a mile or more, written constitutions that allocate your rights and duties: all these are crucial features of modernity and, according to Linda Colley, they are functionally connected. 6/26/2023 0 Comments Till we all have facesThe one rule that Cupid gave Psyche was that she not look upon his face. Psyche, the younger sister, was so beautiful that Cupid himself desired her for his bride. Orual was the older sister and so ugly that she spends most of the book with her face veiled. Their childhood was filled with great love, but eventually, tragedy strikes. The first part of the book shows the sisters Orual and Psyche growing up together, along with their mentor the Fox. In doing so, he depicts a life centered on one such abuse of love that is far more extreme than that of the teenager and her parents. Lewis retells the myth of Cupid and Psyche. Rare indeed is the person who has not treated love so poorly. The only lever she has to persuade her parents is their love for her. Reeling at the blow to her social life, the words bubble up, “you don’t really love me!” She says this only because she knows that her parents do love her and that it will hurt them to hear these painful words. Picture the scene, cliché as it is: A young teenager’s parents have just refused her permission to go with friends to a concert this Friday. “Love is not a thing to be so used” -The Fox 6/26/2023 0 Comments Louis XIV by John B. WolfThe memorists, particularly Saint-Simon, have fixed the traditional image of Louis so firmly it is difficult to see him in any other light. Book Synopsis Although Louis XIV was a vitally important figure in European history, he has found no satisfactory biographer until now. Without ignoring the fact that Louis was also a son, husband, lover, and father-as well as king-he gives us a striking new image of Louis as soldier administrator and a vivid, accurate picture of the kings impact on the military machine after 1691, his part in the drama of war and in the emergence of a new Europe. About the Book Professor Wolf focuses on the problems of high politics and war, which intrigued Louis and were his instruments of power. |
