The book is part of the Billionaires and Babies series. Please be patient with me while I attempt to provide context for my dilemma. But then there were moments, after I finished the book, that I couldn’t help but cringe at the some of the negative cultural stereotypes displayed.

Rabbit angstrom6/27/2023 He has a couple conversations with a local priest, Eccles, who finally convinced him to return to his wife when she is in the hospital- in labor. We begin Rabbits story with him impulsively abandoning his pregnant wife Janice and 2-year-old son Nelson he drives around, intending to maybe go cross-country, loses his confidence and returns instead of actually returning home, however, he meets up with his high school basketball coach-cum-mentor Marty, then shacks up with a part-time prostitute named Ruth. Other locations mentioned are real, including Lancaster, Philadelphia, and Pittsburgh. We are also introduced to the fictional universe in which Rabbit resides. More familiar, used to, and maybe accepting of his ways, yes. And as the book continues, this doesn't get any better. We are unceremoniously introduced to Harry Angstrom, nicknamed "Rabbit" because he vaguely resembled the animal as a child. Because not having to exert any energy holding back my hatred for his misogynist, discriminative, and racist ways made it much easier to like. Interestingly, now that Rabbit is gone this is sadly the best in this series.

John mcenroe you can not be serious6/27/2023 Research carried out by a motion-perception scientist, Professor George Mather of the University of Sussex, suggests that players have an unusual ability to judge the position of a fast-moving ball. True, his assertion that he had spotted chalk dust flying up from the line might not have justified his description of the match official as an "incompetent fool", but it seems it was certainly more than mere gamesmanship designed to put off his opponent, Tom Gullikson. Back in 1981, a young John McEnroe, sporting a headband and frizzy hair, was so furious at the Wimbledon umpire Edward James's refusal to rule his serve in that he uttered the immortal line "you cannot be serious" before subjecting, or perhaps treating, the centre court crowd to a tirade of ill-tempered invective.īut new evidence today suggests that McEnroe could have had a point after all. It ranks as one of the most memorable – and imitated – moments in sporting history.

On another hot afternoon, one of the children dies from a bee sting-a tragedy compounded by long-kept secrets and lies. With its help, the instant infatuation he conceives for his stunning hostess becomes “the start of his life.” After Bert and Beverly marry and move to Virginia, the six newly minted stepsiblings are dragged unhappily into new relationships and settings.

The story begins on a very hot day in Southern California at a christening party for Beverly and Fix Keating’s second daughter, Franny. In her seventh work of fiction, Patchett ( This Is the Story of a Happy Marriage, 2013, etc.) turns from the exotic locales and premises of Bel Canto (2001) and State of Wonder (2011) to a subject closer to home: the evolution of an American family over five decades.

Benny and Byron are the primary narrators of the story, but as the tale progresses, readers get the perspective of more and more characters who have somehow touched Benny and Byron’s lives. The mood is tense due in no small part to Benny’s estrangement from the family. It intriguingly starts when Benny and Byron (B & B) meet for the first time in years to hear their mother’s last wishes. The heartbreaking tale Eleanor unfolds, the secrets she still holds back, and the mystery of a long-lost child, challenge everything the siblings thought they knew about their lineage, and themselves.Ĭan Byron and Benny reclaim their once-close relationship, piece together Eleanor’s true history, and fulfill her final request to “share the black cake when the time is right”?
