Clarence Darrow: Defense Attorney (Bulletin) di Iris Noble
NA
I have had this book for awhile. I got it at a used book sale a long time ago and its one of those books I always go back and read from time to time. It is simply written, but is a great story line. The characters seem real and are very relatable. It is was written in 1965, but is set in 1902 and is a great historical romance!
What a perfectly splendid biography of a brave and wonderful woman! Written in that relentlessly positive tone I so well remember from all the Junior Literary Guild biographies I read as a kid, this can't be called great prose. The subject transcends the Pollyannaish tone, and Emily Dunning Barringer is a woman to make one's heart soar. Can't recommend this one highly enough, and I'm in Wendy's debt for the recommendation. I'm just as glad I missed this as a kid because it probably would have sent me to medical school. Five stars for the story, three for the writing.… (altro)
