Unruly Human Hearts: A Novel | Barbara Southard

I never heard of this scandal - The Beecher-Tilton Affair from the 1800s - have you?

“Lust, infidelity, and betrayal centered the historically famous Beecher-Tilton adultery trial where Theodore Tilton, his wife Elizabeth Tilton, and Reverend Henry Ward Beecher are exposed for their extramarital affairs, embodying the new 19th century concept of “free love.””

PROMPT: BRIGHT

The reader will  learn about The Spanish Flu and its devastation of the population around the world.  If you are like me, you will do research of your own about the Spanish Flu.

Ms. Meissner has written another touching book that teaches us some history as well as teaches us about the goodness of mankind and its generosity in times of a crisis.

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks This one was heartbreaking 💔 16h
marleed I thought it particularly interesting since it was published prior to Covid-19. I think it would be hard to write that same novel today and not interject some of the mistakes from the later pandemic. 13h

2/14

A wonderful life shattered by the Nazi invasion of Poland has Reuven‘s family losing their dignity, their umbrella business, and then their home.

A beautifully written and detailed account of the heartbreaking life of Reuven during WWII.

You will love Reuven for his strength and loyalty as you hope for something happy to happen in his life.

A marvelous debut.  5/5

We meet Hannah who is a prisoner in Theresienstadt and Hilde her childhood friend who is a member of the Reich and who is making a propaganda film about the camp that was touted to be a luxury community to keep its Jewish population safe.

Another well-researched, informative read by Ms. Coburn.

How did Iris get herself into this situation?

Lots of creepy things happening along with odd, mean, violent characters with two storylines going - for readers who like twists and unexpected things.

And…what an ending….a bit bizarre, but all wrapped up. 4/5

A small Scottish village has secrets, and Dorothy has been keeping one for many years.

Not an uplifting read, but it is beautifully written, has a pull-you-in storyline, and a main character you don‘t know if you want to feel sorry for or be angry with for the choices she makes.

A moving, thought- provoking debut. 4/5

Could having someone‘s heart cause you to feel what they felt?

The book gets very tense and good even though it was slow for the first half of the book.

It will have you trying to figure out the mysterious author, the murders, and how Rosie fits into all of this.

A good psychological thriller - stay with it!! P4/5
