5/30/2023 0 Comments The she was gone bookNow Jo has everything she's ever wanted: a veterinary practice she loves, a devoted husband, three grown daughters, a beautiful Massachusetts farmhouse. It was a time of limitless possibility, but it ended in a single instant when Jo returned home one night to find her best friend lying dead in a pool of blood on the living room floor. In the summer of 1968, Jo Becker ran out on the marriage and the life her parents wanted for her, and escaped-for one beautiful, idyllic year-into a life that was bohemian and romantic, living under an assumed name in a rambling group house in Cambridge. Now, Sue Miller delivers a spellbinding novel of love and betrayal that explores what it means to be a good wife. A decade ago she put a face on every mother's worst nightmare with her phenomenal best-seller The Good Mother.

He calls himself Jimmy Blevins, but they doubt it’s his real name, as it’s also the name of a religious radio host. John and Lacey leave early in the morning and as they approach the border with Mexico, a young boy who appears to have been following them catches up. Before leaving, John Grady sees Mary Catherine Barnett, a girl who has recently dumped him, one last time. John Grady goes to see his old friend Lacey Rawlins, and they talk about leaving for Mexico. John Grady buys a ticket to San Antonio, where he watches his mother perform on a stage, and then waits for her at a hotel lobby, where he sees her with another man. Franklin also tells him his parents have recently finalized their divorce. Franklin, the lawyer, tells him the same thing-as a sixteen-year-old, John Grady can’t take it over. John Grady first tries to convince his father to change her mind, but his father, who hasn’t been quite the same since his return from a POW camp in World War II, says there’s nothing he can do. The ranch is in his mother’s name, and she doesn’t want any part in it anymore. As All the Pretty Horses begins, John Grady Cole’s grandfather has just died, and he’s learned that the San Angelo, Texas ranch that has been in his family for generations is about to be sold. 5/30/2023 0 Comments Arrow to the sun bookThere are two articles on Arrow to the Sun on the blog American Indians in Children's Literature. The book was printed in gouache and ink, and won the 1975 Caldecott Medal. For the record, the song "Cat's in the Cradle" came out in 1974. Arrow to the Sun is a 1973 short film and a 1974 book, both by Gerald McDermott. Horning's Horn Book article Arrow to the Sun and Critical Controversies is a piece Betsy cribbed (read: stole) from heavily for this podcast episode: Behold and marvel at the lack of information on the Wikipedia entry for this book: Meanwhile, Kate gets confused about the actual storytelling itself, and Betsy cannot get over how a book from 1974 looks this much like a video game. In this post-Thanksgiving episode the sisters give as much of the history of this book as possible, all thanks to the work of K.T. After Tikki Tikki Tembo and Little Black Sambo, it seems like Arrow to the Sun is the natural complement to those two, don't you think? Kate and Betsy haven't dug deep into a book with racist issues in a while, and they've never done any books where white folks told the stories of American Indians.

When grumpy Gauss, with his 17-year-old son Eugen in tow, arrives at the Prussian capital Berlin, Kehlmann sums up the experience: Gauss, however, is a rather simple man with a provincial way of looking at things, who hates the idea of travel and prefers to grasp the inner dealings of the world while sitting at his desk.ĭespite being so different from each other, the two geniuses eventually find common ground by complementing each other's knowledge.īoth scientists are oddballs in their own rights with peculiar views. Humboldt comes from an aristocratic family, enjoyed a classical education, and distinguishes himself in his compulsion for traveling the world. The reader learns that the two protagonists are complete opposites. Alexander von Humboldt is one of the most famous scientists in German history Image: picture-alliance/akg-images This pattern continues until the two scientists get to meet at the Berlin convention. However, after the first chapter, the book jumps back in time in order to tell both characters' biographies chronologically, with the chapters alternating between Humboldt and Gauss. The meeting of these two titans is the starting point of Daniel Kehlmann's bestselling novel, Measuring the World. The story starts off with Gauss reluctantly making his way to the convention in Berlin, having been invited by Humboldt himself.
