The relevant sections of Henri Martineau’s Pléiade version of the Journal have been revised in the light of a rereading of the newly acquired manuscripts. This is the first paperback edition of Stendhal’s Journal, and the first in nearly seven decades to have been able to draw directly on six notebooks - dramatically acquired in 2006 from the private collection of Pierre Berès for the Bibliothèque municipale de Grenoble - which cover a combined period of over three years between July 1805 and October 1814. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() They are obsessive, charismatic, and interesting, and she provides back story for their idiosyncrasies and empathy for their weaknesses. What I likedĪs always, Moriarty gives readers well-developed, multidimensional characters. Moriarty gives us a main cast of three quirky couples and explores how the events of one Sunday afternoon forces them to reconsider their marriages, their identities, and their parenting skills. Truly, Madly, Guilty tells the story of an innocent backyard barbecue gone terribly wrong. My book club buddy Caroline found the first half of the novel so frustrating, she removed it from our 2017 reading list. In fact, I know some people who refuse to read it because their friends have hated it. Her latest release, Truly, Madly, Guilty, has gotten mixed reviews. Her books are an appealing mix of humor and reality that touch on every day challenges but also have an intriguing element of mystery. Ever since I listened to Big Little Lies last year, I’ve been a huge Liane Moriarty fan. ![]() ![]() ![]() My eldest was excited to tell his friends that The Day the Crayons Came Home wasn’t even in stores yet, but we already had a copy! ![]() Upon arriving, the kids had a chance to look through both The Day the Crayons Quit and The Day the Crayons Came Home.
