Walking it has been on my own personal bucket list since first reading this book. Tangentially even Henry Ward Beecher had a part to play.įor a while, Brooklyn’s Great Bridge was the world’s largest suspension bridge and even though eclipsed by later works including the Golden Gate, it is still the only bridge with a pedestrian promenade. Barnes (whom you might associate with today’s Barns & Noble), Seth Low (two-term mayor of Brooklyn, and one-term mayor of New York), and William Marcy Tweed (the infamous “Boss” Tweed of Tammany Hall). One of the reasons I found the book so fascinating was the great love and respect Washington and Emily showed each other, culminating in Emily’s selfless dedication to Washington after he suffered physical catastrophe during the bridge’s construction.īesides the Roeblings, the cast of characters involved with the bridge contains a who’s who of New York’s political and industrial giants, including A.C. Roebling, it was his son Washington who completed it, along with his incredible wife Emily - as unlikely a story in the Victorian era as one might encounter. The main focus of the book is the bridge, but it is about the fascinating human beings who made the bridge possible. As is the case with other McCullough works, it is superbly crafted and reads as well as any great work of fiction. It tells the tale of how the Brooklyn Bridge was conceived and built. David McCullough’s The Great Bridge is an extraordinary book. Discover the do's and don'ts of the middle game.- Learn chess tips, tactics, and strategies for the middle game.

The humour, in fact, enhances the anguish. The show tackles race, religion, and gender, but uses dark humour to draw you in without losing any of the depth, the tragedy. (I suggest switching on subtitles.) The vast number of characters are complex on paper, the performances even more so. The poetic dialogue is laden with meaning. It is a dense show, one you cannot binge. The violence is over the top, yet evocatively beautiful. The humour is utterly dark and will undoubtedly offend several viewers. The Good Lord Bird is not for the easily triggered. Having recently watched the gripping First Reformed, I thought I would give another Ethan Hawke production a chance. Yet, after a few weeks of watching brilliant shows such as Sex Education, Only murders in the building, Katla, and even Hacks, I was ready to be interrogated, to be shocked, to be uncomfortable, and to marvel at the genius of the creators.

Gottman’s work deserves praise for its fresh, well researched and accessible information and processes. My sweetie, Les and I filled in the blanks and circled the Yes/No questions. If you want to improve an intimate relationship his insights have proven to be reliable and impactful! By the way, my copy of the book is filled with highlights and scribbles. Gottman’s groundbreaking work was first published in 2000. In The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work: A Practical Guide from the Country’s Foremost Relationship Expert, he describes his finding after following over 700 couples in seven different studies. Yet, I suggest you consider his concepts as described here to be useful in a broader context as in relationships in general. Gottman is described as North America’s most knowledgeable researcher in the area of successful marriage. I have met a good number of them and they all praise his work. Gottman has trained many marital counselors from Calgary and around the world. Is there a sequel brewing here? Can hiring a few hitmen count as ethical capitalism?

If you love fairy tales, dark magic, and a touch of horror, I recommend picking up Erin Craig’s excellent debut.Īnnaleigh lives a sheltered life at Highmoor, a manor by the sea, with her sisters, their father, and stepmother. I loved watching Annaleigh defend her family in the face of enchanting strangers and ghosts. It’s beautifully detailed, gorgeously written, and completely unpredictable, with a strong-willed female character at its heart. This book was a sheer pleasure to fall into. By turns spooky and romantic, the book follows Annaleigh to enchanted balls and beyond as she fights to protect her sisters-and brushes up against the cosmology of major and minor gods that populate the book and control her fate. Tragedy has claimed the lives of four of her twelve sisters, and it soon becomes clear that their deaths were not an accident. This is the story of Annaleigh Thaumas, who lives with her father, stepmother, and sisters in a beautiful but haunted island manor. “The Twelve Dancing Princesses,” the Brothers Grimm fairy tale that House of Salt and Sorrows riffs on, is my favorite fairy tale, and this book is a retelling par excellence: There’s devoted sisters, strong women, and lush descriptions of period fabrics and clothing (I'm a sucker for an iridescent ball gown). I'm convinced I was uniquely positioned to love this book-but I’m equally convinced that you'll love it too. Lucan cannot risk binding himself to a mortal woman, but when Gabrielle is targeted by his enemies, he has no choice but to bring her into the dark underworld he commands. A vampire himself, Lucan is a Breed warrior, sworn to protect his kind - and the unwitting humans existing alongside them - from the mounting threat of the Rogues. Lucan Thorne despises the violence carried out by his lawless brethren. In that shattering instant she is thrust into a realm she never knew existed - a realm where vampires stalk the shadows and a blood war is set to ignite. For when Gabrielle witnesses a murder outside the club, reality shifts into something dark and deadly. But nothing about this night - or this man - is what it seems. He watches her from across the crowded dance club, a sensual black-haired stranger who stirs Gabrielle Maxwell's deepest fantasies.
