  1. Let It Come Down

    It was years ago when I first read, and loved, The Sheltering Sky by Paul Bowles. So it is strange that it took almost 36 years before I decided to read his 2nd novel Let It Come Down. The setting is The International Zone of Tangier Morocco in 1949, a world that offers a multitude of dark, fascinating characters in a noirish setting of smoky cafés, brothels and bars. Amazing that it has never made it to the big screen.

  6. In the Heart of the Sea: The Tragedy of the Whaleship Essex

    A harrowing tale as told by American writer Nathaniel Philbrick about the loss of the Nantucket whaler Essex in the Pacific Ocean in 1820 after being rammed by a whale - setting the entire crew (almost all in their teens + 20s) adrift at sea. Few of the sailors were to survive the ordeal. The story was one of the inspirations for Herman Melville's Moby-Dick. I could barely put this book down. Published in 2000.

  16. Confederates In The Attic

    Just read this wonderful witty + still relevant 1998 non-fiction book written by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Tony Horwitz which examines The South's ongoing fascination with the Civil War. I couldn't help but feel like it was written with one eye on the future almost 30 years ago ...

  26. Raising the Titanic

    Marta Molnar's 3rd book in her Light & Life Series which highlights women in history who have not received the recognition their contributions deserve. In this case Helen Churchill Candee - American author + feminist, but perhaps best remembered as a survivor from theTitanic.

    The book uses dual timelines, intertwining a present-day research team hoping to uncover the names of unidentified victims of the sinking, with the story of Candee herself. While a great page turner, for me the modern tale suffered in comparison to Candee's fascinating life!

  31. Journal of a Residence on a Georgian Plantation in 1838–1839

    A fascinating account by British actress Fanny Kemble of her time on her husband Pierce Butler's Georgia plantation. Vehemently anti-slavery, Kemble recounts the horrors of this world + her feeble attempts to help - giving out bits of food + clothing, paying enslaved workers for work outside the fields + illegally helping one man to learn his letters. The book was not published until 1863, after her divorce from Pierce Butler, + the American Civil War had begun. Butler had threatened to keep Kemble from seeing her 2 daughters, whose custody she had lost in the divorce.

    Years after the divorce Butler was forced to sell his slaves to pay off gambling debts. It was the largest such sale ever - known a The Weeping Time.

  46. 📕 Hospital Sketches 📕

    Louisa May Alcott served as a Union Army nurse for 6 weeks in Washington DC at the end of 1862. That time, cut short by a case of typhoid pneumonia, inspired her book Hospital Sketches- a short novel both humorous + devastatingly sad.

    These are photos of what her world might have looked like during that time
