Friendship, true lasting friendship can stand the test of time, but is it possible it could stand mysteries left hidden from seemingly ages ago? When Betts is nearing the completion of a long and grueling questioning before being named the next Supreme Court Justice there’s only one question that could ruin her chances as well as possibly destroy friendships cemented in the sands of time. What happens after her response and subsequent retreat with the Four Ms. Bradwells will have you questioning what it means to be a true friend and one that would endure nearly everything for love. A trial, a murder, friendship and much more, but not all in that order are what await readers of The Four Ms. Bradwells. So, firstly I should start off with what I loved about this story. Each of the “Ms. Bradwells,” as they have been so nicknamed since their time in law school, and how they each represented a smaller part of a larger whole. One without the group was still definitely accomplished, but together they were a force to be reckoned with. Standing together and loving each other through their faults. It was truly enjoyable to see how their friendship developed over the years and especially during their law school years. I especially liked how the story of how of them receiving their nicknames became part of who they were as a group. What I struggled with…I’m not sure if it’s because my husband is an attorney, but parts of the legal aspects of the story became quite dull to me. In ways it was interesting to learn more about some of the cases my husband has spent hours devouring, but in others it seemed to make the story drag a bit. I honestly don’t know if that’s because of my familiarity with the subject or because it simply was a tad drawn out. I couldn’t help but wonder at times if the right audience for this book might possibly be other attorneys? In ways, I wanted to know more about the mystery that was surrounding the four friends, but much of that wasn’t revealed until quite a bit later in the book. Another aspect I had a hard time with at first was the changing narrators. This isn’t something I normally have a problem with, though usually there are only between two to three narrators in a story. With four narrators I found myself constantly stopping to reacquaint myself with who was speaking. It wasn’t until I was close to 100 pages in that I finally started to get a handle on things; which coincidentally was also about the time I started to really get interested in the book as well. No doubt, Meg Waite Clayton knows her legal terminology & history as well as how to write an intriguing story. I adored the love the friends had for one another and the lengths at which each Ms. Bradwells would go to protect those they loved most of all. Unfortunately, the story was a little slower than I would have liked though I could definitely see someone with some type of legal affiliation being extremely interested in the finer details shared. It took a bit more than I would have liked to get into the mystery of the story, but was still very interesting just the same. Ultimately a beautiful story about love, friendship and what people are willing to sacrifice in exchange for those things.

Praise for Miss Etta and Dr. Claribel: "More than just the fascinating story of two sisters from Baltimore who amassed a remarkable collection of artwork by Matisse and his contemporaries, this is also the story of Matisse, Picasso, and Gertrude and Leo Stein, all of whom figure prominently. Fillion, who teaches drawing at the Baltimore Museum of Art (where the Cone sisters' collection can be seen today), contributes paintings in the style of Matisse to illustrate the major players, their encounters, and travels. The sisters' personalities and passions come through vividly in Fillion's prose, while many captioned reproductions of paintings and drawings (from the Cone collection and elsewhere) both inform and point to the excitement of the art world in the early 20th century. As Claribel Cone put it, 'I took beauty where I found it.'" Ages 10–up. (July) —Publishers Weekly, Starred Review "An affectionate, lively examination of the reciprocal relationship between a great artist and two great art lovers. . . . Fillion sketches her characters neatly and swiftly, following the women over the next decades as they amassed what became one of the most significant American collections of modern European art. Though this is not a beginner's text, she folds in economical explanations of early-20th-century European art, cogently contextualizing Matisse and his contemporaries. Their account is lavishly illustrated in full color by reproductions from the Cone Collection at the Baltimore Museum of Art and Matisse-inflected paintings by the author, who drew extensively on the Cone archive that is also housed at the museum. . . . This appealing work stands as both a portrait of two unconventional women and a celebration of the possibilities of arts patronage." —Kirkus Reviews Art exhibitions related to the book will open across the country in 2011: Collecting Matisse and Modern Masters: The Cone Sisters of Baltimore The Jewish Museum (May 8–Sept. 25, 2011); travels to Vancouver Catalogue: JM/Yale Seeing Gertrude Stein: Five Stories Contemporary Jewish Museum, San Francisco (May 12–Sept. 6, 2011) Catalogue: U.

This book, in a word, stinks. And now I shall tell you why. The main character marries a woman named Lexy. Lexy is terribly mysterious, and vibrant, and creative, and such and so on. Okay, whatever, she dies by falling out of an apple tree. Now that I have been browbeaten with the symbolism, let's go to a flashback so Parkhurst can work up some sympathy for this dead chick. By having her suggest that they take a spur of the moment trip to Disneyland! Which I hate! Which should be firebombed! While Mickey screams in agony! Seriously, Disneyland? And then she has a fit when someone cuts the line at "It's a Small World?" I hate this woman. Lexy is an artist. She paints death masks for grieving people. She pulled all her own hair out then had Medusa's snakes tattooed on her scalp. She never wants to have children because she thinks she will be a bad mother. She makes her husband have sex with her while she wears someone else's death mask. Can we guess what really happened in the tree? The apple tree? Hey isn't there an apple tree in some other book? And snakes? What? Let's cut to the chase here. The only worthwhile character in this book is the dog. When the narrator managed to put this dog in mortal danger by being a complete idiot, I kept reading just to see what happened to it. Plus, I was more than halfway through. Plus, my brain had just died from reading Ghost Wars (it was so hard). Don't read this book.
