Historia5 out of 5 stars 6
A raw and poignant memoir of a daughter’s journey from a difficult upbringing in rural Alabama to a fulfilling life as a wife and mother with a successful career far beyond the limitations of her upbringing, Mildred J Mills describes unimaginable highs like becoming a fashion model, beauty pageant winner, and corporate American executive, and devastating lows like the horror of gang rape as she simultaneously conveys deep love and respect for most of those who hurt her.

Evelyn Waugh's most celebrated work is a memory drama about the intense entanglement of the narrator, Charles Ryder, with a great Anglo-Catholic family. Written during World War II, the story mourns the passing of the aristocratic world Waugh knew in his youth and vividly recalls the sensuous pleasures denied him by wartime austerities; in so doing it also provides a profound study of the conflict between the demands of religion and the desires of the flesh.

The story opens in 1906 in New Rochelle, New York, at the home of an affluent American family. One lazy Sunday afternoon, the famous escape artist Harry Houdini swerves his car into a telephone pole outside their house. And almost magically, the line between fantasy and historical fact, between real and imaginary characters, disappears.

Doctorow narrates!
Revisado: 01-27-23
Wonderful, absorbing tale, taking you back to an extraordinary time in our nation's history. While mostly engaging in the manifold layers of inequality and abuse of power, it is simultaneously a lyrical evocation of the exuberance and excitement of the time.
Doctorow is an excellent narrator, not true of all authors, and so the nuance in meaning in the scenes and characters are beautifully revealed

From the author of The Remains of the Day, here is a novel that is at once a gripping psychological mystery, a wicked satire of the cult of art, and a poignant character study of a man whose public life has accelerated beyond his control. The setting is a nameless Central European city where Ryder, a renowned pianist, has come to give the most important performance of his life. Instead, he finds himself diverted on a series of cryptic and infuriating errands that nevertheless provide him with vital clues to his own past.

Dreamscape
Revisado: 07-06-22
It took me a while to settle into the dream like sequences of this book. Once I realized the dreamscapes, as when the narrator said that the backend of this house was actually the front part of the hotel, I settled in. I also found it hard at first because I got very annoyed when the narrator decided to be shitty and withholding in an interaction, and then it got clearer to me that this was the author's way of expressing/acknowledging our unflattering but true responses at times.
