Cecilia Beaux: A Modern Painterin the Gilded Age, By Alice A. Carter: A Phila. painter gets her due.
Since no art accompanies the online review, here is Cecilia Beaux's New England Woman.
The Night Watch, By Sarah Waters: British novel traces course of war and of love in reverse.
Crippen, By John Boyne:Novelization does a killer good.
My Brother Is Getting Arrested Again, By Daisy Fried: From banality to virtuosity
The Rise of American Democracy: Jefferson to Lincoln, By Sean Wilentz: Freedom's foundations: A history of democracy.
Audio books: The right voice, every time, by Anna Fields.
That's hard to say, Laurie, but I think we're easily reviewing more than 500 books a year, which pretty good. There are only a half-dozen stand-alone book sections left in the country, apparently. So I expect we might be in seventh place - which sounds a lot better than it is, considering that there are more degree-conferring institutions within an hour's drive of Philadelphia than anyplace else in the country.
