Struggling within
Revisado: 07-25-24
The struggles of Belle having to balance two roles all her life & living in fear of ‘others’ finding out her secret were so real. I could feel her anxiety throughout the book. An emotional roller coaster to live in that time period and still living it today! Excellent book!

Historia
Maisie Dobbs got her start as a maid in an aristocratic London household when she was thirteen. Her employer, suffragette Lady Rowan Compton, soon became her patron, taking the remarkably bright youngster under her wing. Lady Rowan’s friend, Maurice Blanche, often retained as an investigator by the European elite, recognized Maisie’s intuitive gifts. The outbreak of war changed everything. Ten years after the Armistice, in the spring of 1929, Maisie sets out on her own as a private investigator, one who has learned that coincidences are meaningful, and truth elusive.

Historia
Violette Toussaint is the caretaker at a cemetery in a small town in Bourgogne. Casual mourners, regular visitors, and sundry colleagues - gravediggers, groundskeepers, and a priest - visit her to warm themselves in her lodge, where laughter, companionship, and occasional tears mix with the coffee she offers them. Her life is lived to the rhythms of their funny, moving confidences. But her routine is disrupted by the arrival of the local police chief, who insists on scattering the ashes of his recently deceased mother on the gravesite of a complete stranger.

Liz explains, in excellent detail, each step of the committee to investigate January 6th. She pushes for honesty & openness so our country can hear/read the truth & understand the ‘rule of law’ in laymen’s terms. Thank you Liz for writing this book. I loved it!

Love for an octopus
Revisado: 01-14-23
I so much appreciate the knowledge this book has expressed in getting to know a variety of octopuses so personally. This was an amazing “feel good” book! I can’t wait to visit more aquariums & view the octopus display in each venue!
