April 5, 2019: In a cozy brownstone in Brooklyn, the veneer of domestic bliss is beginning to crack. Dan and Isabel, husband and wife, are slowly drifting apart—and both, it seems, are a little bit in love with Isabel’s younger brother, Robbie. Robbie, wayward soul of the family, who still lives in the attic loft; Robbie, who, trying to get over his most recent boyfriend, is living vicariously through a glamorous avatar online; Robbie, who now has to move out of the house—and whose departure threatens to break the family apart.

Great prose, insular story
Revisado: 01-05-24
There is no doubt about the author’s prose writing ability. And the ability to flesh out the characters. Bad unfortunately those characters live a sheltered life in something like the east side of Manhattan, where the only threats are having to find a new apartment and enduring growing old. The entire endeavor is sweet but denuded of conflict. Sometimes it’s too clever, storytelling-wise. In the end I’m happy to hear Julianne Moore read it to me than read it myself.

One of today's premier biographers, Jean Edward Smith, has written a modern, comprehensive, indeed ultimate book on the epic life of Franklin Delano Roosevelt. This is a portrait painted in broad strokes and fine details. We see how Roosevelt's restless energy, fierce intellect, personal magnetism, and ability to project effortless grace permitted him to master countless challenges throughout his life. Smith recounts FDR's personal battles and also tackles head-on and in depth the numerous failures and miscues of Roosevelt's political career.

A mostly satisfying biography

What did you love best about FDR?
The narrative was great, the history lovely, and it really focused on FDR and not on the characters surrounding him.
What was one of the most memorable moments of FDR?
His early years before the polio are fantastic. You never hear about these years. He was truly amazing.
Have you listened to any of Marc Cashman’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No
Any additional comments?
It did not finish well. It seemed as though the author was rushing the ending, and then there was no epilogue. FDR dies and the book ends. There is so much aftermath, it deserved a chapter. Other than that, it was well written, well recorded, and I loved listening to it.
