Intellectually I understand the sad plight of the repressed housewife, but I guess I just can’t empathise enough… or maybe it was all just to subtle for me. Near the very end, the topic bubbled up a little more following what happened to someone in her social circle (I won’t give anything away), but overall I didn’t feel that it was a strong theme running through the story. ![]() I don’t think she was aware of how vacuous she was, and I certainly didn’t feel like she was struggling to “cope with her dissatisfaction” in life like the synopsis implied. Because of that, I felt like she really believed that this was her lot in life and that the status quo suited her just fine. In 117 brief episodes, it tells the story of an upper middle-class, bourgeois family in Kansas City in the period between the First and Second World War, mostly from the perspective of the mother, the Mrs. Most of the story was about her day to day life and only occasionally did I feel I got a glimpse of her questioning her place in the world. Bridge is the debut novel by American author Evan S. I was anticipating a novel about the angst of a 1940s / 1950s housewife and her internal struggles to find self-worth, and although it was an interesting story I didn’t think the book delivered on that theme. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() When further disappearances rock the ship and strange creatures begin haunting Liv’s dreams, she wonders: Is the Eos hiding a dark secret within its shadowy decks? The truth will come at a price. Liv quickly discovers that the only reason she was invited to join the trip is because another girl disappeared shortly after enrolling-and no one seems to know what happened to her. With Will, with the rest of the Seamester students-including the brittle and beautiful Constantine, who may be hiding his own ties to the Eos -and most of all, with the Sirens, three glamorous and mysterious influencers who seem to have the run of the ship.

When Liv lands an all-expenses-paid opportunity to study aboard the luxury cruise ship The Eos for a semester, she can’t believe her luck. An ocean-drenched, atmospheric horror debut!

The author takes the shut-up-and-calculate approach to the extreme (like how standard freshman physics textbooks present QM). This is not helped by the fact that the book shies away from the math of QM: linear algebra and the concise Dirac notation, which is introduced but quickly discarded. The bad: While a step by step calculation makes it easy to follow, one often gets lost in details and misses the big picture. For example, Griffiths takes his time to explain standard deviations, separation of variables, and phase and group velocity in the beginning. Update (05/15/16): tl dr: I would give this book more stars if it is titled "Introduction to Wave Mechanics."įirst, the good: this book doesn't require mastery of "advanced" classical physics and math such as Lagrangian and Hamiltonian mechanics, electromagnetism, partial differential equations, linear algebra, or statistics. ![]() 6/6/2023 0 Comments The keep book f paul wilson![]() Dead Dames Don’t Sing (By:John Harvey) (2016).Reconciliation Day (By:Christopher Fowler) (2016).The Travelling Companion (By:Ian Rankin) (2016).From the Queen (By:Carolyn Hart) (2015).Every Seven Years (By:Denise Mina) (2015).Condor in the Stacks (By:James Grady) (2015).The Little Men (By:Megan Abbott) (2015).The Book of the Lion (By:Thomas Perry) (2015).It’s in the Book (By:Mickey Spillane) (2014).The Nature of My Inheritance (By:Bradford Morrow) (2014). ![]()
