Fanny Burney carries us along the roller coaster ride of a naive young girl learning, mostly the hard way, how to be out in society. What a disappointment to have a stupid epilogue given by someone who knows nothing of the writer or her monumental place in British literature! Skip it, and let the book stand on its own, as it well can.

I think that Prof. Loury was pretty brutally honest about his professional and personal lives, and they were definitely two separate experiences. It was fascinating to hear how he rationalized his behavior, but he seems unable to understand WHY he pursued the dual paths he vividly describes. An interesting memoir for where it does and doesn’t go.

Karen Armstrong always takes a nuanced and fair-minded view of her subject matter, and her research is impressive while her writing remains lucid and understandable for the general reader.

I so enjoyed listening to this book. I loved the way Turner put the wife of Bath into her historical context, examined how she has been edited and mutated by various authors through the centuries, and how her true voice is finally being heard again through her literary descendants. Well written, well read. Keep them coming, Marion Turner!

I am really enjoying Phillip Pullman’s novels during this period of sheltering at home. Anton Lesser brings the characters to life, and it is a treat to escape into Sally Lockhart’s adventures. The title is cleverly apt, a theme woven into every chapter but made explicit only toward the end.

I found this book to be profoundly resonant, offering a pathway to healing for both families and communities, to stop blaming and start repairing the damage caused by extreme stress. Dr. Harrris’s reading of her book makes it a more personal story and I was glad I was able to literally hear her voice in the telling of this important story.
