Mariana Medeiros marianamedeiros — I learned so much from this book. It gave me a real picture of what life was like in and near Johnstown before, during, and after the horrible tragedy that took the lives of thousands in the late 1800's.

Mariah Shamy mshamy — Lisa Clifford married an Italian man - and along with this a story about his great grandfather who had been murdered in the mountains of Tuscany early in the 20th century. This book is a recreation of an almost feudal age - dirt poor families scraping a living and paying half their earnings to the wealthier overlords. No wonder there was a tolerance for social change - in their case through fascism (although this wasn't part of the book). She interviewed many older relatives to try to find out who had committed the murder at the heart of the story. The details of their lives were fascinating though I felt that she never completely nailed the personalities of all the key players. I thought of the Janet Malcolm book that I read this year - both stories of murder, 'real events' and both writers not quite able to capture the personal element. But I loved reading about the details of their daily lives and thinking about how wealthy we are in comparison. Just one example - the son was sent to drove sheep in winter. He was a little boy of about 10 years old and was away for about 3 months - he was paid one shoe (not two), for his work. What young people took responsibility for was breathtaking in comparison to the way we treat children now. Their's was a pretty hard society, we are a decadent one.

Kellie Clifford kelliececilia — I guess I am not an existentialist.

苏 苏冠樑 9406748561dd5 — Pretty lightweight but entertaining. I'm not sure it falls under nonfiction.
