After going through so much already, and then being faced with more it was incredible to see how well (or not in some cases) she dealt with it. This book was incredibly emotional as I’m sure you gathered, for me as a reader as well as for Elena. We also see much more of Blake which I’m in two minds about on one hand he is a complex character that will always capture my interest, and on the other I rarely agree with his decisions. Similarly I loved reading about Elena’s new connection with Cara, who we’re introduced to. Elena and Becky and Sammy came together as a force to be reckoned with, even though there highs and lows they grew together and created a bond that was impossible to break. Of course that meant I cried… a lot… but a good novel wouldn’t be complete without me bawling my eyes out during a family meal (last time it was an exam – I can’t decide which was more embarrassing, but I’m sure they’re all used to it by now).Īll the relationships between the characters were so beautifully developed. I thought Adrienne Woods was going to have a hard time living up to the second book (particularly with the way it ended *cries at the mere memory*) but there was no doubt in my mind it was just as great, if not better! Heart pounding, tragic, action-packed, emotional, epic and awesome: all words which describe this holy grail of YA literature. ***I received the ebook free as a review copy from the author/publisher in exchange for an honest review*** Farmer, is a historian of Black women’s history, intellectual history, and radical politics.

Willis melds her Southern roots and French culinary training in her cookbooks, including “Bon Appétit, Y’all.”įeelings run hot all along the ambrosia spectrum, starting with the name. I’ve probably had ambrosia every year of my 56 years.”Īficionados like Willis feel strongly about their ambrosia, sometimes relying on recipes passed down within families for generations. Ambrosia has never gone out of fashion in the South. “Classic ambrosia consists of oranges and coconut, then sugar to taste,” said James Beard Award-winning chef Virginia Willis in Atlanta. The whole shebang, say purists, is nothing less than an abomination. She tops the pile with marshmallows and cherries. Joyce’s version, on the other hand, is far busier, involving pineapple, peaches, oranges, heavy cream, yogurt, cherry juice, toasted coconut and chopped pecans.

The family moved back to San Francisco but William was unable to establish himself there. Laura and William had a daughter they named Lillian Loraine. After less than six months with Grayson, Laura fled to California with her mother.Īfter a brief stay in San Francisco she went to Shasta where she met and married another older man, an attorney named William Fair. Grayson who was also a drunk - the violent kind. Within a year Stone died of cirrhosis of the liver. She was born Laura Hunt in Holly Springs, Mississippi and at age sixteen she was married to a New Orleans liquor dealer named William Stone, twenty years her senior. The family recognized the woman in black then it was Laura Fair and she was finally ending her tumultuous affair with Alexander P. From the folds of her dress the woman pulled a derringer and shot the man in the chest. They did not notice the woman, dressed entirely in black, wearing a broad brimmed black hat with a black veil covering her face, as she approached them. A prominent California legislator was sitting with his wife and son on board the Oakland-San Francisco ferryboat El Capitain the evening of November 3, 1870. Lee Remick is a character from another movie plopped into this rough and tumble Oregon backwoods scene, and the second leading man, a kind of implied narrator to it all, is played by little known Michael Serrazin, a pretty boy who holds his own but is uninspiring. The result is grossly unappreciated, because the strengths here make the flaws bearable. But Paul Newman, as lead character and, yes director (stepping in when the original director left), has tried. There are so many threads in the book, powerful themes and small ones, that get interwoven into a vivid, unashamed adventure-romance with interior explosions and characters clashing with nature and cultures clashing of cultures, it's really impossible to make a movie out of it. And it's based on a Ken Kesey novel that is one of my favorite books, a sprawling, difficult, layered up masterpiece of some kind, for its time at least, and for when I read it as a 20 year old looking for meaning in life. Sometimes a Great Notion (1970) This is an amazing story, with some harrowing scenes and really terrific acting. Certainly Olympe believed she was Pompignan's daughter, whatever the truth may be. Mousset writes as if it were a fact that Olympe was Pompignan's daughter, but I have read elsewhere that her paternity is in doubt. She was the illegitimate daughter of a nobleman, the Marquis de Pompignan, with whom her mother had an affair, although she was officially the daughter of her mother's husband, a butcher. Her pseudonym was taken from her mother's name (Anne Olympe). She did not learn French until much later. Her first language was Occitan, the regional language of the south of France, which is actually closer to Catalan than French. Olympe was born Marie Gouze in 1748 in the city of Montauban in southern France. The document did not have much effect on the leaders of the Revolution, who either ignored Olympe or ridiculed her, but later on it was recognized as a pioneering work of feminist theory, and had a great influence on Mary Wollstonecraft and other early feminists. I first learned about Olympe a long time ago, in a college class on the French Revolution, when we read her most famous work, Declaration of the Rights of Woman and of the Female Citizen, where she said that women should have the same rights as men, including the right to vote and hold political office. Women's Rights and the French Revolution is Sophie Mousset's biography of the playwright and feminist activist Olympe de Gouges. I'd have to say this because in varying degrees, sex plays a big part in Acheron's story and some of it is emotionally very dark and disturbing, but I'd have to say that I came away loving Ash, the Wrangler and Atlantean God, who overcomes his past with soul healing love from Tory and the characters he comes to realize are his real friends. Since this was my first book in the Hunter series, if this book is any indication,this series has fairly intense, explicit sexual scenes. I'm just afraid my review won't do this book justice.Acheron is both tragic and gruesome like many Greek tragedies, but at least our hero of heroes gets his happily ever after as well when he meets Tory, a Greek professor who he impresses so much that she threw a hammer at him. However, at the same time Acheron was inspiring, uplifting and a completely amazing story. It's was my first Dark Hunter book that I'd have to say was one of the darkest,most emotionally gut wrenching, and heartbreaking books I've ever read (or listened to).
