Review by @BookishMarginalia on Emmy Noether by Helaine Becker

Pub date October 2020

If you love books about foreigners finding themselves in France, do yourself a favor and pick up this charming memoir about a couple who falls in love with the French countryside and buys a decrepit stone cottage with a magnificent view, in order to spend summers living as the French do. Chapters are short, anecdotes vivid, and there are recipes! It's a fast, thoroughly enjoyable read. You'll be rooting for Marty, Eileen, and daughter Sara!

Seem appropriate, especially given this election season...

Novel in documents that purports to be a case file of sorts regarding a murder in rural Scotland in the late 19th century. There are interview reports, a memoir by the killer, autopsy reports, a psychiatrist's autobiography, and trial notes, all fictional, all lending the novel an eerie air of verisimilitude. It's a mystery, not a thriller. Read it for its engrossing look at the conditions that make a killer and be prepared to judge his guilt for yourself. #NetGalley

Pick up this novel for its deft portrayal of the joys and sorrows of living with a child with special needs. Tilly is thirteen and pretty much unmanageable: inappropriate, defiant, aggressive. She is also brilliant, incisive, imaginative. When a “parenting guru” offers hope, the family moves to NH to start Camp Harmony. Though both guru and ending ring false, the virtues far outweigh the faults of this engaging novel. #NetGalley #autism #specialneeds #parenting #penguinrandomhouse #bookstagram #bookishmarginalia
