5/23/2023 0 Comments The Long Secret by Louise FitzhughHarriet is still there, brash and brave as ever. Who is leaving anonymous notes all over Water Mill, Long Island? She's a real "Mary Sue" in that book until the end when she plays a pivotal role during a class election.īut in The Long Secret, Beth Ellen is the main character, and Fitzhugh peeled back the layers of her upscale, privileged life to reveal subtle anger and damaged childhood - all while telling a mystery. Now, while I loved Harriet, it was Beth Ellen who really stole my heart in the relatively unknown book The Long Secret.īeth Ellen appears in Harriet the Spy as a shy, pretty girl with no personality. I see Delacorte is reissuing Louise Fitzhugh's books to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Harriet the Spy. 5/23/2023 0 Comments Against empathy reviewHe is not against being a good neighbour and being kind, loving, and compassionate. Paul Bloom claims that, among other things, empathy focuses on the immediate and short term, is biased and short-sighted, and favours the one over the many.Įmpathy, he says, exhausts the spirit and can diminish the force of kindness and love. "Against Empathy - The Case for Rational Compassion"įor those in the business of caring, which brings with it strong imperatives for loving kindness, compassion, empathy, and 'doing good', this book is both refreshing and challenging. The review was published in Touchstone, March 2018. Thursday, "Against Empathy - The Case for Rational Compassion" Rev Dr Lynne Frith reviewed "Against Empathy - The Case for Rational Compassion" by Paul Bloom. 5/22/2023 0 Comments High Wages by Dorothy WhippleWas conscious of a smell of cotton and woollen stuffs, of a counter to right and a counter to left, a small oil-stove giving out smell without heat, and a headless dummy exhibiting a pink ripple-cloth dressing-gown on its incredible bosom. (Whipple was born in Blackburn.) Chadwick’s is one of those old-fashioned shops with rows of little drawers and eiderdowns and curtain material hanging from the ceiling whilst Jane Jane finds work in draper’s shop in the town of Tidsley which is said to be based loosely on Preston. Her father has died and she is at loggerheads with her stepmother. The novel plots the story of Jane Carter who, when the reader first meets her in 1912, is seventeen years old and on the point of leaving home. The title comes from an old saying ‘Experience doth take dreadfully high wages, but she teaches like none other.’ It was first published in 1930 and was republished by Persephone in 2009 and the quotes in my review are taken from this edition. High Wages is one of Dorothy Whipple’s early novels. 5/22/2023 0 Comments The ghost bride bookThe serious accusation that he killed Tian Ching, while I didn’t believe it, hung around and cast doubt on his validity as a worthy suitor for Li Lan. I didn’t notice that it was happening until Tian Bai’s past was questioned. Building Er Lang up as a love interest was so natural that it snuck up on me. The various challenges Li Lan faces, from failing to inhabit her own body to infiltrating Lim Tian Ching’s home in the land of the dead, made for an exciting journey that kept me guessing what would happen next. By subverting my expectations, it kept me engaged. I kept waiting for the moment when Li Lan would agree to become Lim Tian Ching’s wife, but she never did. Certain plot beats I was anticipating (based on my idea of what a story like this should contain) never came to fruition. In many ways, this book was far from predictable. I didn’t anticipate the main thrust of the novel. She is drawn into the ghostly realms against her will, however, and she must navigate the world and new relationships in order to save her own life. Although such a marriage would settle her father’s debts and set her up for life, Li Lan has no interest in marrying into widowhood, especially since she falls in love with the dead man’s cousin, Lim Tian Bai. Set in 1893 Malaya, the story opens when 17- year-old Pan Li Lan is told that the wealthy Lim family wants her to become a ghost bride to their recently departed son. The Ghost Bride is Yangsze Choo’s 2013 debut novel. 5/22/2023 0 Comments Gaddis the landscape of historySo who's really being scientific, and who isn't? This question, too, is one Gaddis explores in ways that are certain to spark interdisciplinary controversy. They don't much resemble what happens in the social sciences, where the pursuit of independent variables functioning with static systems seems increasingly divorced from the world as we know it. Their approaches parallel, in intriguing ways, the new sciences of chaos, complexity, and criticality. In doing so, they combine the techniques of artists, geologists, paleontologists, and evolutionary biologists. Like cartographers mapping landscapes, historians represent what they can never replicate. Carr, The Landscape of History is at once an engaging introduction to the historical method for beginners, a powerful reaffirmation of it for practitioners, a startling challenge to social scientists, and an effective skewering of post-modernist claims that we cant know anything at all about the p. Gaddis points out that while the historical method is more sophisticated than most historians realize, it doesn't require unintelligible prose to explain. Written in the tradition of Marc Bloch and E.H. The Landscape of History provides a searching look at the historian's craft as well as a strong argument for why a historical consciousness should matter to us today. What is history, and why should we study it? Is there such a thing as historical truth? Is history a science? One of the most accomplished historians at work today, John Lewis Gaddis, answers these and other questions in this short, witty, and humane book. 5/22/2023 0 Comments Fables by Bill WillinghamReaders can enjoy his insights into delivering the detective story he dared dream might be possible, picking up the Fables series with original artist Mark Buckingham, and what this new 12-issue story means for the future of Fables in our full interview below. or a sign that creator Bill Willingham is bringing the series back for good?

"At the beginning of the book, an old deacon who's affectionately known as Sport Coat gets drunk. McBride's new novel, Deacon King Kong, opens with a shooting, then soon moves - improbably, memorably - into laughs, love, quirky and compelling characters, and the connective tissue of human experience in multiracial Brooklyn in the summer of 1969. You get to show redemption, and forgiveness, and you get to show the parts of people that most of us never get to see." "In the real world, villains too often succeed and heroes, too often die," says writer James McBride - and that's one of the great things about being novelist.
