Historia
Lily hasn’t always had it easy, but that’s never stopped her from working hard for the life she wants. She’s come a long way from the small town where she grew up—she graduated from college, moved to Boston, and started her own business. And when she feels a spark with a gorgeous neurosurgeon named Ryle Kincaid, everything in Lily’s life seems too good to be true.

Historia
The Ball family hails from South Carolina - Charleston and thereabouts. Their plantations were among the oldest and longest-standing plantations in the South. Between 1698 and 1865, close to 4,000 Black people were born into slavery under the Balls or were bought by them. In Slaves in the Family, Edward Ball recounts his efforts to track down and meet the descendants of his family's slaves.

Slaves in the Family is a must!
Revisado: 03-05-23
What an incredible story. First of all, Edward Ball researched down to the smallest details to put together a rich story of what happened during slavery in the Deep South. What a remarkably cleanse this must have been for him and for the lives he touched. All of the participants were incredible. His voice is great and impersonations 👍🏽 listen to the very very end! Bravo!

Great performance Great story
Revisado: 02-09-23
I love CW Gortner’s writing and the performance was excellent. I latched on to this book immediately. Subsequently, I researched a lot more of the history of the various villas and palaces they describe in the writing. It’s given me even greater interest in learning more of this incredible period of history. Read this for sure!

Set against the lavish backdrop of the French Court in the early years of the 18th century, The Sisters of Versailles is the extraordinary tale of the five Nesle sisters - Louise, Pauline, Diane, Hortense, and Marie-Anne - four of whom became mistresses to King Louis XV. Their scandalous story is stranger than fiction but true in every shocking, amusing, and heartbreaking detail.Court intriguers are beginning to sense that young King Louis XV, after seven years of marriage, is tiring of his Polish wife.

The readers voice is grating.
Revisado: 02-01-23
Bottom line. Story is great, performance is killing me. If it’s a novel about French history—all of these different accents are soooo inaccurate and annoying!

What I didn’t know about Texas
Revisado: 07-24-22
I loved this book! Annette Gordon Reed is a brilliant woman and writer and I wish I’d read this book before her others to understand more of her childhood, family and experiences as a young woman of color in Texas. I also grew up in texas and was never taught about the history of people of color in my home state. A great quick read!
