“One man I should not have killed and one I should have.” One of the Rossingol sisters ruminates on this as she makes her first trip back to Paris as a now elderly woman. Which sister says this is a mystery until the end of the book.

The Nightingale is the story of two sisters whose lives were shaped by tragedy and remolded by crisis. Who is the Nightingale?  It seems obvious as you read the story, but by the end you wonder.

Does a tumor removed from your body belong to you? What happens to it once the biopsy is done, once the doctors have given the verdict of cancerous or not? Should it be destroyed or can it be used for further medical study? Should further use be disclosed? Should permission be sought? Does the biomedical field have the right to use and further share knowledge and material from your body? Continue reading →

Swans of Fifth Avenue

Amazon book cover            Truman Capote                         Babe and Bill Paley

Author Melanie Benjamin is a New York Times bestselling author. I will be suggesting three of her books for our Fall Breeze book club, as they are all sure to generate discussion, be finished by even your busiest member, and will be controversial but not over the taboos…religion or politics…whew and thank goodness! That is, unless you have one member who always takes you there (which thankfully I don’t in my clubs).

Truman Capote is really the star of the book. Fun, outrageous, discerning and backbiting Truman. The Swans are the society ladies of the fifties and early to mid sixties who amazingly expand their circle to include him. Rural raised, male, non-traditional Truman is a master storyteller, not just on the page, oh no, he uses his abilities to his maximum advantage by assuaging their vanity, ferreting out secrets and truly ingratiating himself into their lives.

A fun read that will have your book club talking about the meaning and definition of friendship, betrayal, forgiveness and the contrast between high society and new media darlings who are making their own rules in the sixties!
