Mr. Hammond And The Poetic Apprentice by Mallany Ambrose

-
 


Two brothers in the same profession for a while. One is totally text bookish while the other one is dreamy. He loves poetry. It exerts the mind to believe two brothers can deliver and lose a breech birth. The mother  strains not to take the laudanum. She is dying.  Mrs.Foster will die.
 
Mellany Ambrose collects a reader simply because she looks at objectivity and subjectivity in a different way, a scintillating way. Objective: It's true.  Patients die. Subjective: Men, doctors, fault themselves for these deaths. It is not possible to exist as a decent person when a few think of you as a murderer. If you did not have a calling, you would run from a medical education as quickly as possible. Failure is as spooky as vultures in a high tree.This book,"Mr. Hammond and a Poetic Apprentice" forces us to look at the Medical world again. It is a hard nut to crack. Maybe compassion can not mix itself with science.

Fairytale of New York by Zor Folbigg

 Charlie is leaving Lancashire for New York. It is her first time visiting there. She is so excited. In her shoes, I would feel the same way. The trip on the plane goes well. Everything is great until she figures it out. Harry Taylor is not there to meet her.  It is such a horrible feeling to experience what is happening to her. She spends hours at the airport and find she does not have enough information with her. The story goes on. Although I have never had this experience, I almost feel her pain. It is a wonderful book. We definitely learn about Charlie.When all we want to know is where is Harry. Walking this woman back and forth as she tries to think what to tell her parents, etc. leaves the heart pumping faster and faster. You really feel like crying for her. This is not the way I pictured her New York Christmas. By the way, Lancashire is near London.

In From The Cold by Sarah Bennett

 My family must own some secrets too. It seems the normal thing. If they have any skeletons rattling in the closet,  they have been more than silent. At the moment, I am looking at all of them with suspicious eyes.  "In From The Cold" is about a family in turmoil. So many relationships cluttered with a hush. Since it is a novel, I can read it with the joy of being uninvolved. I do not know what happens to the body as we make up lies to cover truths. It is all done because we want to protect someone from pain. As we protect them, they look around and see and feel that some thing is not right about their life. The one who is keeping the secrets searches for ways to cover his dishonesty: drinking, sex, running. It is all just balls scattered on the floor. No one can walk through them. You just get a bigger headache. This proves that secrets have a life too. They scramble and move around like crabs. Until one day they bust out of confinement. Then, trouble really moves in. There
