Laura Arlotti _aura_rlotti — A beautiful book, and great for inspiration.

Nasko Balaktchiev naskobalaktchiev — The Children (1928) - Edith Wharton Bizarre! Wonderfully so. A trip 'through the looking glass' to a hollow world of people divorced from their own feelings and lives, and the children left behind. A book about the blended (put in a blender that is) American family. Interesting and significant that Wharton chose a male protagonist for this story. The book has four sections, which includes among other things the following: The first, a wonderful fall down the rabbit hole. The second, a 'mad-hatters tea party' of the idle rich. The third where you say what you don't mean, or speak the truth that should never be said. The fourth, Wharton satirizes various overboard practices then coming in vogue for the 'proper' raising of children including the American eugenic movement (Yup, for real!). Wharton biographer Hermoine Lee calls this book Wharton's most neglected. Interesting to compare the Wheater children (creative and not well) with the Fulmers children (creative and healthy) briefly described near the end of Glimpses of the Moon. Characters: Martin Boyne, the Wheaters: Judy, Terry, Blanca, Zinnie, Bun, Beechy, Chip; Scopy, Mrs (Rose) Sellars, Joyce & Cliffe Wheater, Zinnia LaCrosse, Mr Dobree.

Victor Saliba victorsaliba — I have to say I've been pleasantly surprised by the A. Clements books I've been reading. No Talking started out like a typical boys-against-the-girls school story - and don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with a typical school story. But it's evolved into something a bit more thoughtful. The teachers' reactions, for example, to the kids' determination NOT to talk is illuminating, some are so irate that they dare to challenge the status quo and then the English teacher, who thinks it's creative, uses the contest as an exercise in alternate forms of communication. The kids themselves come to see the other sex as partners in this interesting experiment, one that's giving them time to think and focus instead of 'thinking out loud' as one of the girls realizes she has always done. "For one tiny fraction of a minute, it wasn't the boys against the girls, it wasn't a battle but it was two smart kids enjoying a new idea." I like it!

Magda Nowacki magdanowacki — 2.5 Stars. I was disappointed with this one. After loving Sarah and really liking Rebekah, this one was a bit of a let down. Rachel and Leah were both portrayed in very unflattering ways which seems unrealistic to me. There were parts I liked, but overall, I didn't love what he did with this story. Still, I will probably read Wives of Israel, that last book in the series.
