Childhood memoir about a crazy mother? Sounds familiar. Thumbs up. Definitely disturbing.

This book is from the Heartsong Presents historical series, sweet historical romances in various settings with an inspirational theme. This particular book is set in British-occupied Philadelphia during the Revolutionary War. It's September 1777 in Pennsylvania, and the Revolutionary War rages throughout the land. Meredith Elliot receives a message from her brother Matt, a Patriot spy. Matt fears he will soon be captured and has sent Merry a note to pass on to General Washington. The same day, she meets Will Castleton, a young Englishman from Boston. The next day, Merry and her Aunt Mina travel to Philadelphia for a shopping trip and a visit with Merry's father, who works as a doctor there. Merry passes on the message -- and soon runs into Will again. When British soldiers invade Philadelphia the next morning, Merry and her aunt are trapped in the city. Merry and Will then begin to fall in love, but although he appears neutral, concerned only with the family shipping business, Merry doesn't want to trust an Englishman, especially when she is passing on messages to the Patriots. Life becomes even more dangerous for her when Major Hastings, a cruel British officer, begins to suspect that Merry is a spy. As Merry fears for her safety, she also worries about the fates of Will, who has returned to Boston, and Matt, who never sent another message. This book was a pretty good sweet historical romance. I loved the setting during the American Revolution; this setting is a favorite of mine but not too common in any type of romance. The setting and historical background were nicely developed, but the characters and romance needed more work, especially considering this is a romance, after all. Merry was the most developed character, but even she didn't really come alive. Will's point of view is never given so his character suffers even more. The strength of the book is really in the historical setting, which is the best part of it. If you love the time period, you might want to give this book a try, but there are better books in the series.

A turgid read, and theoretcial - barely for practical use.

I like these little snippets into VT life, makes me yearn to visit New England. He has a lovely writing style, almost feels like fiction, the characters and situations are brimming with vitality. I liked it.

When Ernest Fletcher is found bludgeoned to death in his study, everyone is shocked and mystified. Ernest was well-liked and respected, so who would have a motive for killing him? Enter Superintendent Hannasyde who begins to uncover the complexities of Fletcher's life. It seems the real Fletcher was far from the gentleman he pretended to be. There is, in fact, no shortage of people who wanted him dead. Then, a second murder is committed, with striking similarities to the first, giving a twist to an already complicated case. Admittedly the plot itself is not that complicated and you ought to be able to figure out who did it pretty quickly. What I did like were the characters involved especially the Bible-quoting policeman. How he manages to get through the entire book without being grievously assaulted is surely a thing to be marveled at.

At the start of this amazing true story, Henri Charriere is embittered towards the people who have accused him of a murder he has not committed. Sentenced to a lifetime of hard labour in a penal colony on Devil's Island in French Guiana, the plotting for his escape begins. His subsequent adventures and experiences take your breath away... I loved the way that he never gave up hope, fueled by his sharp intelligence and undying determination to be a free man once more. I also liked him because ultimately he was a kind and unconventional hero.

Loved this book. Found it very hard to put down. Really showed the complex interworkings of society, the law of the time, tradition, roles of the sexes, and the role marriage played in keeping women financially stable to survive along with men sometimes married women of financial means in order to keep their entailed family estates functioning. An excellent depiction of the time, convoluted communication styles and societal expectations.
