The 128th book I read this year was The Many Captivities of Esther Wheelwright by Ann M. Little. <br />A summery of the book is as follows: “Born in 1696, Esther Wheelwright was captured at the age of seven by Wabanaki Indians. During her time with them, she became Catholic. She ended up in Quebec, Canada and enrolled in an Ursuline convent there at a young age, eventually becoming the order's only foreign-born mother superior. The author discusses her unusual, border-crossing, multilingual, multicultural life.”<br /><br />My book diary adds this bit: Interesting and well written. Charlotte Hebert was mentioned as an 18th-century Ursuline in New Orleans who went a bit severe with the mortification practices. Abigail Amelia “Nabby” Adams, daughter of Abigail and John Adams would make an interesting biographical novel in her own right. She is mentioned in this nonfiction account. Her parents were written about several decades ago by Erving Stone in a very long biographical novel. <br /><br />For those who really want a giant stretch, why not consider the 131st book I read this year, New York 2140 by the noted science fiction writer Kim Stanley Robinson? A brief description of the book is as follows: It’s the year 2140; Weather conditions have caused the waters to rise, leaving the old surface of New York City; however, the city remains a bustling metropolis of canals. The inhabitants of one particular skyscraper go about their business in this new world. <br /><br />My book diary says this: Much better than 2312. I liked the several stories and the way each part had alphabetical numbers with the name of the main character indicated. Mutt and Jeff were written about in third-person present-tense and the Franklin sections in first-person past-tense. Franklin was a stock trader. I was intrigued with the book’s ending where the government nationalized the banks who were experiencing a crisis not unlike that of 2008. <br /><br />Thank you all for stopping by to read about my book and check out this comment. Good luck with the raffle!<br /><br />David<br />David Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02803242399395094648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8392182043945362363.post-45885287707209252182017-09-27T10:05:06.803-04:002017-09-27T10:05:06.803-04:00Congrats on the tour and thanks for the chance to ...Congrats on the tour and thanks for the chance to win :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13115730343687745202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8392182043945362363.post-70992439979959938612017-09-27T06:34:42.762-04:002017-09-27T06:34:42.762-04:00What book have you read this year that would gener...What book have you read this year that would generate a good discussion for a book club?
