Engaging, thought-provoking murder mystery. Plenty of insight into human relationships and the effects of war trauma. Not action packed but deep and thoughtful.

Historia
For years, rumors of the "Marsh Girl" have haunted Barkley Cove, a quiet town on the North Carolina coast. So in late 1969, when handsome Chase Andrews is found dead, the locals immediately suspect Kya Clark, the so-called Marsh Girl. But Kya is not what they say. Sensitive and intelligent, she has survived for years alone in the marsh that she calls home, finding friends in the gulls and lessons in the sand.

Historia
From the 1950s until his death in 1994, Menachem Mendel Schneerson - revered by his followers worldwide simply as the Rebbe - built the Lubavitcher movement from a relatively small sect within Hasidic Judaism into the powerful force in Jewish life that it is today. Swept away by his expectation that the Messiah was coming, he came to believe that he could deny death and change history. Samuel Heilman and Menachem Friedman paint an unforgettable portrait of Schneerson.

Overly simplistic
Revisado: 05-29-22
The basic thesis of the authors is something like this: “The Rebbe, in his youth, was more worldly than his predecessors. He dreamed of becoming an engineer and did everything he could to fulfil that dream. Circumstances, however, were against him and he was forced to abandon that plan. The tragedies of Stalin and holocaust as well as survivor guilt prompted the Rebbe to change track and take on the mantel of Chabad leadership. Due to his own religious sensibilities, the adoration of his followers, and later his own intense personal isolation, the Rebbe fell prey to a delusion that the messianic age was imminent and that he might just be the chosen one. The Rebbe’s passing leaves a gaping hole and there are serious questions about how the Chabad movement will cope in the long term.”
The authors ignore or downplay the very significant contributions the Rebbe made to modern Jewish life - the spearheading of outreach, the revitalisation of Jewish education and institutions, and the spread of Hasidic camaraderie in unprecedented proportions. A better biography is Steinsaltz’s My Rebbe or Chaim Miller’s Turning Judaism Outward.

Historia
Of Human Bondage is one of the greatest novels of modern times, and it is certainly Maugham's greatest achievement. It was published in 1914, when Maugham was at the height of his creative powers. The story concerns Philip Carey, afflicted at birth with a club foot, and his passionate search for truth in a cruel world. We follow his growth to manhood, his educational progress, his first loves, and the wrenching tragedies and disappointments that life has in store for him. In some of the finest prose of the 20th century, Maugham has presented us with the timeless story of one man's search for the meaning of life.

Historia
The Great War changed everything and everyone, and Larry Darrell is no exception. Though his physical wounds from the war heal, his spirit is changed almost beyond recognition. He leaves his betrothed, the beautiful and devoted Isabel; studies philosophy and religion in Paris; lives as a monk, and witnesses the exotic hardships of Spanish life. All of life that he can find - from an Indian Ashrama to labor in a coal mine - becomes Larry's spiritual experiment as he spurns the comfort and privilege of the Roaring 20s.

Historia
For a young lawyer on the make, it was an offer Mitch McDeere couldn’t refuse: a position at a law firm where the bucks, billable hours, and benefits are over the top. It’s a dream job for an up-and-comer—if he can overlook the uneasy feeling he gets at the office. Then an FBI investigation into the firm’s connections to the Mafia plunges the straight and narrow attorney into a nightmare of terror and intrigue. With no choice but to pit his wits, ethics, and legal skills against the firm’s deadly secrets—if he hopes to stay alive…

Good Grisham book, though I liked "The Testament" more. Well narrated. Mostly pretty exciting and held my interest.

North Star is an old rig, too old for the appalling weather in the North Sea. The massive environmental damage its destruction could cause would be unthinkable. Why would anyone think of sabotaging it?

Incredible performance of a classic. Evocative and dark, though I did find it a little too intense at times. Stunning and unforgettable nevertheless.
