Women can be heroes. When twenty-year-old nursing student Frances “Frankie” McGrath hears these words, it is a revelation. Raised in the sun-drenched, idyllic world of Southern California and sheltered by her conservative parents, she has always prided herself on doing the right thing. But in 1965, the world is changing, and she suddenly dares to imagine a different future for herself. When her brother ships out to serve in Vietnam, she joins the Army Nurse Corps and follows his path.

Memories growing up then.
Revisado: 04-19-24
I’m not usually an emotional reader but this got me! Well researched and written and the narrator was just perfect. Although I was just a kid during the Vietnam War I grew up near Washington DC and this book brought back remembrance of the protests and news and even the traffic jams. Not usually my type of book but I read it for our book club and am so glad that I did. Highly recommended; looking forward to our book club meeting!

Historia
A landslide has closed the Korowai Pass on New Zealand’s South Island, cutting off the town of Thorndike and leaving a sizable farm abandoned. The disaster presents an opportunity for Birnam Wood, an undeclared, unregulated, sometimes-criminal, sometimes-philanthropic guerrilla gardening collective that plants crops wherever no one will notice. For years, the group has struggled to break even. To occupy the farm at Thorndike would mean a shot at solvency at last. But the enigmatic American billionaire Robert Lemoine also has an interest in the place.

So much potential…
Revisado: 06-09-23
This book had so much potential to be great but fell short for me. A little tough to get into at first and then sped up nicely only to slam into a wall at the end. I can see the metaphorical potential for discussion though. Some readers may enjoy that.

A page turner!
Revisado: 05-06-21
I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this book. I had trouble putting it down as the story twisted and turned. Orlagh Cassidy’s narration was sublime. I’ll watch for more by these two artists.

Historia
Bill Bryson has been an enormously popular author both for his travel books and for his books on the English language. Now, this beloved comic genius turns his attention to science. Although he doesn't know anything about the subject (at first), he is eager to learn, and takes information that he gets from the world's leading experts and explains it to us in a way that makes it exciting and relevant.

I thought it was going to be boring!
Revisado: 10-24-20
I thought it was going to be boring! I try to intersperse “good for me books “with what I call “candy books” purely for entertainment purposes. This was supposed to be a “good for me book “ to my surprise I found it to be highly entertaining, interesting and, although somewhat aged because much has been discovered since it was written,, still pertinent to life today. I will definitely look for more books written by him and more books narrated by this narrator.

Historia
Not all problems can be solved with a mute button. Everyone knows Rebecca Marley. She’s the crazy, brave, and introspective woman who spent nine months without talking. Everyone loves her. She’s raw, honest, and relatable. She’s also rich and famous, although I’m sure you knew that already. You’ve probably read her articles, or her book, or seen one of her many interviews. She’s also socially anxious, self-conscious, and self-degrading, but she tries to keep that to herself. Her once-silent world has changed, and the noise has engulfed her.

Historia
Can you get by for an hour without talking? A day even? What about a month? Or nine? Rebecca Marley sets herself a nine-month challenge with only one rule: She isn’t allowed to communicate with anyone. She is to become mute. How hard could it be? Yet, what starts as a challenge soon becomes a journey of self-discovery as Rebecca has only herself for company. Will this time be the peaceful respite she so desperately seeks? Or will she confront aspects of herself that a noisy world hides so well?

This book will be delightful to discuss with my friends and family. Full of fun fodder for friendly interaction. The ending seemed abrupt but overall a good read. Especially liked the narrator who has a calming and clear voice. She was able to put pictures in my head
