Historia
After Tova Sullivan’s husband died, she began working the night shift at the Sowell Bay Aquarium, mopping floors and tidying up. Keeping busy has always helped her cope, which she’s been doing since her eighteen-year-old son, Erik, mysteriously vanished on a boat in Puget Sound over thirty years ago. Tova becomes acquainted with curmudgeonly Marcellus, a giant Pacific octopus living at the aquarium. Marcellus knows more than anyone can imagine but wouldn’t dream of lifting one of his eight arms for his human captors—until he forms a remarkable friendship with Tova.

The author brings you into this magical quiet world to show others how quiet and beautiful the world is. Majestic huge birds whose only way of survival and movement was swimming and walking thru this quiet area of a world we are too busy to see.

Historia
The Cartiers is the revealing tale of a jewelry dynasty—four generations, from revolutionary France to the 1970s. At its heart are the three Cartier brothers whose motto was “Never copy, only create” and who made their family firm internationally famous in the early days of the twentieth century, thanks to their unique and complementary talents.

Perfection
Revisado: 01-25-23
We have all heard the name Cartier and attributed it to a family of jewelers. That word has so much more meaning after reading the story of the family and what it stood for. It is a time long gone when craftsmanship was not merely a word, but a way of life and pride in vision and accomplishments the world will never see again.

Historia
Josephine's life story was as turbulent as the age, an era of revolution and social upheaval, of the guillotine and of frenzied hedonism. With telling psychological depth and compelling literary grace, Carolly Erickson brings the complex, charming, ever resilient Josephine to life in this memorable portrait, one that carries the reader from the sensual richness of her childhood in the tropics to her final lonely days at Malmaison.

Never really knew much about her except she was married to Bonaparte. I found this narrative to be sad in that her life was so troubled.

Historia
Charlie Chaplin made an amazing 71 films by the time he was only 33 years old. He was not only known as the world’s first international movie star, but as a comedian, film director, and a man ripe with scandal, accused of plagiarism, communism, pacifism, liberalism, and anti-Americanism. He seduced young women, marrying four different times, each time to a woman younger than the next. In this animated biography of Chaplin, Joyce Milton reveals to us a life riddled with gossip and a struggle to rise from an impoverished London childhood to the life of a successful American film star.

Very interesting life
Revisado: 07-21-22
Very interesting read. I never realized that Luna was quite selfish in her own right compared to the way she’s always been pro she’s always been portrayed as someone who dearly loved him and did her best to protect him as he got older reading the book you get to feeling that she was no less of a person trying to live off of his genius in notoriety and I found that to be a little sad. It certainly changed my outlook on Charlie Chaplin they always call him the little tramp or the little guy and he was but he had so much going against him when he was younger that he made so much of himself as he got older something to be proud of.

Historia
The Plaza is the account of one vaunted New York City address that has become synonymous with wealth and scandal, opportunity and tragedy. With glamour on the surface and strife behind the scenes, it is the story of how one hotel became a mirror reflecting New York's place at the center of the country's cultural narrative for over a century.

Not what I expected but totally fascinating
Revisado: 07-05-22
I never knew the varied history that the plaza hotel had I think a lot of times we just take for granted the fact that these classic buildings have been there forever and we don’t really know too much about their history and all the iterations they went through to become the iconic places that that they actually are totally fascinating it’s a facet of history that I don’t think we get enough of we look at just being there..

Historia
At the turn of the 20th century, American women began to reject Victorian propriety in favor of passion and livelihood outside the home. This alarmed authorities, who feared certain "over-sexed" women could destroy civilization if allowed to reproduce and pass on their defects. Set against this backdrop, The Unfit Heiress chronicles the fight for inheritance, both genetic and monetary, between Ann Cooper Hewitt and her mother, Maryon.

Strange times devaluing women’s rights
Revisado: 06-30-22
As what is happening today, there is much said regarding thr right of a woman to control her body and reproductive purpose. Children were raised by nannies or left to their own devices. Minor ladies had even less control and the human race used excuses to prevent multiple births from becoming a drain on society. Things are not moving forward….

Terrific
Revisado: 06-20-22
If you lived thru the production of Rent, you would know about the turbulent times this musical portrays. It is a great musical in the vein of west side story. The story and struggles were real, the people are real, and it didn’t get the reviews it should.

Historia
Gable's rise to idol stature was swift. He made close to one hundred films in his lifetime and achieved immortalization in the timeless epic, Gone with the Wind. Off-screen, the man who finally won the indomitable Scarlett O’Hara was even more of a lady’s man than his character. He seduced, and, in several cases, married women of immense wealth to sustain his extravagant lifestyle and further his career.

Some celebrities you hear a lot about. Not so with Clark. Very interesting to learn he was rather rough and not kind. But I was also surprised the ladies of the era were also not as polished and refined. Interesting history…

Historia
1936 was a great year for the movie industry - the financial setbacks of the Great Depression were subsiding, so theater attendance was up. Americans everywhere were watching the stars, and few stars shined as brightly as one of America's most enduring screen favorites, Mary Astor. But Astor's personal story wasn't a happy one. Born poor and widowed at 24, Mary Astor had spent years looking for stability when she met and wed Dr. Franklyn Thorpe.
