A remarkable story. Women need to be reminded of our resilience and bravery in the throes of misogyny and fear of our power.

The rich and complicated characters and loving evocation of the Appalachians

Revisado: 02-08-24

I am humbled and grateful for this beautiful book as I was by the authors earlier work. As a native of Kentucky, I am so delighted by a story that evokes the proud, graceful, fierce and tenacious spirit of the people and landscape of the Eatern reaches of the state. Thank you!

A fascinating story

Revisado: 12-11-23

I was surprised that this was a history of both a place, a business, and most of all the rise of an industry! Great stuff for a bourbon nerd but also a good example of marketing, business planning, leadership and enterprise. Highly readable and recommended.

When I purchased this, I thought it was for a mindless beach read, but I found it full of great characters and plots. Of course now I want to go to the hotel Nantucket!

Relevant, fascinating, and important

Revisado: 08-07-22

This is a must read for anyone -and that should be most Americans-to understand the sweeping and complicated history of Cuba and in particular, her relationship to the United States. If we are to have peace and moral comfort, we must revisit Obama’s opening of Cuba and repudiate the greed and jealousy of the Trump years as well as the dreadful policies, which have taken different forms since Columbus first landed in 1492. I found this history well written, compelling, and of course, filled with events and insights I never had presented though 18 years of “formal” education. Read it!!

A terrific read!

Once again, Brooks weaves a fascinating and spellbinding history of an “inanimate” object bringing it to life in its provenance of artists, scribes, binders, and saviors in a backdrop of war, religion, sacrifice, and redemption. A wonderful read for this old librarian and bibliophile. Highly recommended!!

Magnificent

Revisado: 07-13-22

Admittedly, as a retired librarian I absolutely loved this story. But even more so, I found it so provocative in the reflection it empowers to rethink my own life, my regrets, and to think about all the good things, relationships, accomplishments and sheer abundance of my life. This is not only a great, compelling read, but a therapeutic essential in this time of chaos, confusion, and disappointment. Do read it. Embrace it. Learn from it. Thank you!

A hero for our time

Revisado: 07-10-22

My next read will absolutely be Nancy Wake’s autobiography, the White Mouse. I was riveted by this novel. The fierce resilience, independence, loyalty and commitment in this woman, and the devotion and respect she earned in her leadership are an inspiration to girls and women today who will have to find the means of resistance, resilience, and persistence. It is what Nancy would want of us.
