In 1972, when workers in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, were digging the foundations for a new development, the last thing they expected to find was a skeleton at the bottom of a well. Who the skeleton was and how it got there were two of the long-held secrets kept by the residents of Chicken Hill, the dilapidated neighborhood where immigrant Jews and African Americans lived side by side and shared ambitions and sorrows. Chicken Hill was where Moshe and Chona Ludlow lived when Moshe integrated his theater and where Chona ran the Heaven & Earth Grocery Store.

I want my money back

If you were just going to pick place names in a book by pointing at a map, at least trace out the watershed before you write it as fact that the Schuylkill river flows into the Chesapeake. And take time to figure out that Spring City isn't a coal town.
I was willing to let the geograhical mistakes slide to hear a story, but the story was trash woven together to try to come off as a period piece on civil rights. Come on. Inaccurate, non-descrpt, mangle of words stacked up in a heap and packaged as a cultural struggle.

1883. Thaniel Steepleton returns home to his tiny London apartment to find a gold pocket watch on his pillow. Six months later, the mysterious timepiece saves his life, drawing him away from a blast that destroys Scotland Yard. At last, he goes in search of its maker, Keita Mori, a kind, lonely immigrant from Japan. Although Mori seems harmless, a chain of unexplainable events soon suggests he must be hiding something. When Grace Carrow, an Oxford physicist, unwittingly interferes, Thaniel is torn between opposing loyalties.

flop of a story that aspires to entertain with magic disguised as scienc6 while pushing the latest morals and norms.

This classic war memoir, first published in 1920, is based on the author's extensive diaries describing hard combat experienced on the Western Front during World War I. It has been greatly admired by people as diverse as Bertolt Brecht and Andre Gide, and from every part of the political spectrum. Hypnotic, thrilling, and magnificent, The Storm of Steel is perhaps the most fascinating description of modern warfare ever written.

Performance is bad
Revisado: 02-17-23
Great story, but the narrator speaks in a cynical sneer, the chapters are begun and ended with combat sounds, and French quotes are not translated.
