In 1892, Bombay is the center of British India. Nearby, Captain Jim Agnihotri lays in Poona military hospital recovering from a skirmish on the wild Northern frontier, with little to read but newspapers. The case that catches Jim's attention is being called the crime of the century: Two women fell from the busy university’s clock tower in broad daylight. Moved by the widower of one of the victims - his certainty that his wife and sister did not commit suicide - Jim approaches the Framjis and is hired by the Parsee family to investigate what happened that terrible afternoon.

Wonderful narration. Intriguing story line. Fine delineation of characters. Historically sound. Rollercoaster emotions. I couldn't put this book down. Bravo!

It is a cold January morning, and Shetland lies beneath a deep layer of snow. Trudging home, Fran Hunter's eye is drawn to a splash of color on the frozen ground, ravens circling above. It is the strangled body of her teenage neighbor, Catherine Ross. The locals on the quiet island stubbornly focus their gaze on one man - loner and simpleton Magnus Tait.

A mounting investigation with a twist
Revisado: 03-21-18
This well written book, full of analogies, similies, and high level of English, will hold your attention from the beginning to the end! The characters were well delineated and plausible. The setting of the Shetlands came out clearly to complement the story. Bravo!

The Mongol army led by Genghis Khan subjugated more lands and people in 25 years than the Romans did in 400. In nearly every country the Mongols conquered, they brought an unprecedented rise in cultural communication, expanded trade, and a blossoming of civilization.

A Rare Treat
Revisado: 03-08-18
What a surprise to discover the amazing story of this farsighted warrior who became the ruler of territories as large as the African continent! Ghengis Khan was just a name I had skimmed over in a college World History class. I had no idea about the poverty and harsh circumstances of his youth, his rise to greatness as a valorous warrior, ingenious strategist, faithful husband and father, his original manner to allow inclusion, religious freedom,
education for all no matter their station in life. The story was well de!eneated, plreasant to listen to, full of remarkable exploits and discoveries. Ghengis Khan is alive and well and has had a deep impact on our way of life. Well worth reading!

Kornfield's simply stated sagacity sinks straight go the heart. He doesn't try to convince, he merely opens doors to vastness of spirit... A must read.

Jeannette Walls grew up with parents whose ideals and stubborn nonconformity were both their curse and their salvation. Rex and Rose Mary Walls had four children. In the beginning, they lived like nomads, moving among Southwest desert towns, camping in the mountains. Rex was a charismatic, brilliant man who, when sober, captured his children's imagination. Rose Mary painted and wrote and couldn't stand the responsibility of providing for her family; she called herself an "excitement addict."

Once you start, the author catches you in a web so outrageous that you will have a different appreciation of parent-children relationships. An excellent delineator!

Hoping to make a clean break from a fractured marriage, Agatha Christie boards the Orient Express in disguise. But unlike her famous detective Hercule Poirot, she can't neatly unravel the mysteries she encounters on this fateful journey. Her cabinmate Katharine Keeling's first marriage ended in tragedy, propelling her toward a second relationship mired in deceit. Nancy Nelson - newly married but carrying another man's child - is desperate to conceal the pregnancy and teeters on the brink of utter despair.

In this follow-up to her acclaimed 2007 novel The Bastard of Istanbul, Turkish author Elif Shafak unfolds two tantalizing parallel narratives---one contemporary and the other set in the 13th century, when Rumi encountered his spiritual mentor, the whirling dervish known as Shams of Tabriz---that together incarnate the poet's timeless message of love.

Couldn't put it down!
Revisado: 07-27-17
A Very c!ever intertwining of 12th century Turkey and
an upper class suburb outside NYC today. The story grabbed me from the beginning and didn't let go! Profound Sufi teachings on love, dying to the ego, and living in the present moment hung skillfully on two main characters so far away in space and time. The bonus was to understand more about the beloved Rumi.
