In 1558 the ancient stones of Kingsbridge Cathedral look down on a city torn apart by religious conflict. As power in England shifts precariously between Catholics and Protestants, high principles clash bloodily with friendship, loyalty, and love. Ned Willard wants nothing more than to marry Margery Fitzgerald. But when the lovers find themselves on opposing sides of the religious divide sweeping across the country, Ned goes to work for Princess Elizabeth. When she becomes queen, all Europe turns against England.

Loved the narrator, and the story was good!
Reviewed: 06-12-24
The narrator really made the story come alive. Also, the fact that some of it was acted out with accompanying sound effects was particularly good. Murder mysteries are not usually my thing but tucks one was a good surprise!!

Factfulness: The stress-reducing habit of carrying only opinions for which you have strong supporting facts. When asked simple questions about global trends - what percentage of the world's population live in poverty; why the world's population is increasing; how many girls finish school - we systematically get the answers wrong. In Factfulness, professor of international health and global TED phenomenon Hans Rosling, together with his two longtime collaborators, Anna and Ola, offers a radical new explanation of why this happens.

Not For Me
Reviewed: 08-25-22
I anticipated liking this book, but it plodded along so slowly that I eventually gave up. The author started out with an over-presented thesis as if his audience were made dullards. Finally, he bragged about his medical career, thinly veiled as instructive. Oh, well. Another credit is down the drain.
It might have been a little better to be more expedient and somehow I think a reader with a foreign accent would seem more believable given that the main character in the story was born in India, (I think) and lived overseas. That being said, the voice actor was very precise in his diction and delivery, but would have been better for a different book.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 391
Erika Krouse has one of those faces. “I don’t know why I’m telling you this,” people say, spilling confessions. In fall 2002, Erika accepts a new contract job investigating lawsuits as a private investigator. The role seems perfect for her, but she quickly realizes she has no idea what she’s doing. Then a lawyer named Grayson assigns her to investigate a sexual assault, a college student who was attacked by football players and recruits at a party a year earlier. Erika knows she should turn the assignment down.

The Novel is Horrifyingly Realistic
Reviewed: 03-28-22
Part memoir and partly a novel, the story is compellingly realistic. The narrator is exceptional in her delivery making it hard to realize she isn't the actual first person voice. The writer navigates the telling of her story with beautiful turns of phrase and elaborate detail. Simply stated, she talks pretty, even while speaking the ugly truth.

It was fun to hear Dolly explain things in her own words and to get a feel for her personality and sense of humor. it was a pleasure from beginning to the end. Funny that every single song was her "best ever" or "most favorite of alnol" and so on!

Interesting topic
Reviewed: 05-14-20
The author can sure turn an ordinary thought into a gleaming beautiful sentence. I admire his words and phraseology and am impressed with the way he can stretch a topic to its breaking point. That being said, I think the book was longer than it needed be.

For years, rumors of the "Marsh Girl" have haunted Barkley Cove, a quiet town on the North Carolina coast. So in late 1969, when handsome Chase Andrews is found dead, the locals immediately suspect Kya Clark, the so-called Marsh Girl. But Kya is not what they say. Sensitive and intelligent, she has survived for years alone in the marsh that she calls home, finding friends in the gulls and lessons in the sand.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 773
Hallucinations don’t belong wholly to the insane. Much more commonly, they are linked to sensory deprivation, intoxication, illness, or injury. Here Dr. Sacks weaves together stories of his patients and of his own mind-altering experiences to illuminate what hallucinations tell us about the organization and structure of our brains, how they have influenced every culture’s folklore and art, and why the potential for hallucination is present in us all.
