There is a tremendous sadness in the headlines and the deepest rift between MAGA and decent human beings. To witness what we have been embroiled with for 12 years with Donald Trump and the cult of personality has been enormously difficult. Each headline is more egregious than the last. The corruption, the nepotism, the pedophilia, all stops removed in a grab for power

Is always the mark of a well love story to be cast a drift at the ending, hoping for more pages, a longer epilogue, or just a continuation. In this case I have in my book bag the Prince of Broadway, the prior title, which I will now crack open. Thank you Joanna Shupe for an adventurous step back into the crime lords of the Gilded Age. Especially as midterms are at hand.

She does her homework on the Gilded Age, from crime boss to millionaires to sweat shops to the Metropolitan opera, and everything in between. But I question why she needs such a filth vocabulary. Who is she trying to titillate. It is almost as if her readers must pass a gauntlet of lewd and crude. To follow the narrative

have read this book before. The insistence of Justine letting check Mulligan escort her to the legal aid benefit triggers memory. Also the bowling. And that got hot and heavy. Once started reading it is obligatory to finish if it is a well done plot, and this definitely was. All of her gilded age titles are interactive in the best possible way

The cover, another insult to readers. Do you think this looks like a goody two shoes? This is a woman of charitable impulse, that is the point of the book. And I do not like the color pink
