Historia
This companion tale tells the story of Ruth, the daughter that Rachel Kalama - quarantined for most of her life at an isolated leprosy settlement - was forced to give up at birth. The book follows young Ruth from her arrival at the Kapi'olani Home for Girls in Honolulu to her adoption by a Japanese couple who raise her on a strawberry and grape farm in California, her marriage and unjust internment at Manzanar Relocation Camp during World War II - and then, after the war, to the life-altering day when she receives a letter from a woman who says she is Ruth’s birth mother.

Maudlin
Revisado: 09-19-24
Read breathlessly, always to underline suffering, always as if to relay a breathless tale of sorrow. So many hours of it.
Occasional mispronunciation by the reader were not corrected by the editors; even a couple grammatical errors.

Historia
With Kafka on the Shore, Haruki Murakami gives us a novel every bit as ambitious and expansive as The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, which has been acclaimed both here and around the world for its uncommon ambition and achievement, and whose still-growing popularity suggests that it will be read and admired for decades to come.

Revisado: 08-27-24
Baffling stories at first, each strange and absorbing its own right. The mystical ending could be seen in advance, but you keep asking yourself “How?”. And then .., WOW!

Far-Fetched Fantasy
Revisado: 08-19-24
Too much, too little substance. The author has quite the Imagination, but fails to pull it all together for even a fantasy fan. After all the hullabaloo, I was disappointed. And the whirlwind of Chinese names did not help.

Historia
Hillbilly Elegy is a passionate and personal analysis of a culture in crisis - that of white working-class Americans. The decline of this group, a demographic of our country that has been slowly disintegrating over 40 years, has been reported on with growing frequency and alarm but has never before been written about as searingly from the inside. J. D. Vance tells the true story of what a social, regional, and class decline feels like when you were born with it hung around your neck.

Can’t wait for the fifth volume for the next adventures. An adult ‘Horacio Hornblower’, in the tradition of the master of this genre, Patrick O’Brian.

Historia
As a string of high-profile jewel thefts went unsolved during the Swinging Sixties, the press dubbed the elusive thief the King of Diamonds. Like Cary Grant in To Catch a Thief, the King was so bold that he tip-toed into the homes of millionaires while they were home, hiding in their closets and daring to smoke while they were sleeping. Rena Pederson, then a young reporter with UPI, started following the elusive thief while she managed the night desk. With gymnastic skill, he climbed trees and crawled across rooftops to take jewels from heiresses, oil kings, corporate CEOs.

Historia
On November 6, 1860, Abraham Lincoln became the fluky victor in a tight race for president. The country was bitterly at odds; Southern extremists were moving ever closer to destroying the Union, with one state after another seceding and Lincoln powerless to stop them. Slavery fueled the conflict, but somehow the passions of North and South came to focus on a lonely federal fortress in Charleston Harbor: Fort Sumter.

Larson did another excellent job bringing together the beginnings of the war, many of which were new and revelatory, despite my having read thousands of pages previously.

Historia
Published in instalments in 1859, The Woman in White is often considered to be one of the very first detective novels. Although critics weren’t impressed at the time, the novel proved to be a hit with the public and has since gone on to become one of the timeless classics of the Victorian era. Following the adventures of Walter Hartright, this is a story of sleuthing, inheritance, ghosts and mistaken identity and was recently the subject of a hit TV adaptation by the BBC.

Trollope Would Be Proud

In the excellent tradition of Trollope, with just a touch more treachery. Or perhaps Middlemarch? In any event, many hours of enjoyment.
