Promise of Provence
- By Sandra S on 08-27-19
By: Patricia Sands
Publisher's summary
The untold story of Charles Dickens’ final tour of America. Third-year Harvard student William Price takes an absence from his studies when an opportunity arises to accompany Charles Dickens on his American tour as his personal assistant. Leaving the love of his life, Rebecca, behind in Cambridge and traveling along the East Coast with Dickens and his lively crew, Price discovers the incomparable joys, follies, temptations, and opportunities of life on the road.
As Price gets to know Dickens in a series of settings, from somber one-on-one chats to his flamboyant performances and raucous after-parties, they develop a complicated friendship, teeming with mutual care, respect, jealousy, and secrets. Each city they travel to brings new adventures and mishaps as Price encounters a multitude of crazed fans, a murderous doctor, a life-threatening flood, and a snowbound mountain showdown.
Written with warmth and humor as a series of journal entries, Charles Dickens’ American Road Show follows the tour along the East Coast from DC to Maine as an unexpected and hypnotic tale of danger, intrigue, and love unfolds along the way. Grounded in detailed historical research, this novel is a compelling account of the ways in which literature connects us to both the past and each other, and reminds us of the humanity of our heroes.

Mitza Maric has always been a little different from other girls. Most 20-year-olds are wives by now, not studying physics at an elite Zurich university with only male students trying to outdo her clever calculations. But Mitza is smart enough to know that, for her, math is an easier path than marriage. And then fellow student Albert Einstein takes an interest in her, and the world turns sideways. Theirs becomes a partnership of the mind and of the heart, but there might not be room for more than one genius in a marriage.

Brought to the peace conference by her father, a German diplomat, Margot Rosenthal initially resents being trapped in the congested French capital, where she is still looked upon as the enemy. But as she contemplates returning to Berlin and a life with Stefan, the wounded fiancé she hardly knows anymore, she decides that being in Paris is not so bad after all. Bored and torn between duty and the desire to be free, Margot strikes up unlikely alliances: with Krysia, an accomplished musician with radical acquaintances and a secret to protect; and with Georg, the handsome, damaged naval officer who gives Margot a job.

Kemal, scion of one of the city's wealthiest families, is about to become engaged to Sibel, daughter of another prominent family, when he encounters Füsun, a beautiful shopgirl and a distant relation. Once the long-lost cousins violate the code of virginity, a rift begins to open between Kemal and the world of the Westernized Istanbul bourgeosie - a world, as he lovingly describes it, with opulent parties and clubs, society gossip, picnics, and mansions on the Bosphorus, infused with the melancholy of decay.

London, 1889. Oscar Wilde, celebrated poet, wit, playwright, and raconteur is the literary sensation of his age. All Europe lies at his feet. Yet when he chances across the naked corpse of sixteen-year-old Billy Wood, posed by candlelight in a dark stifling attic room, he cannot ignore the brutal murder. With the help of fellow author Arthur Conan Doyle he sets out to solve the crime - but it is Wilde's unparalleled access to all degrees of late Victorian life, from society drawing rooms to the underclass, that will prove the decisive factor in their investigation....

Touching
Very touching in the telling of a bond that developed between a young man and the great Charles Dickens. While not a bio of Dickens, much is revealed about his life and it’s impact on his writings and personality.

A wonderful historical journey.
I enjoyed it immensely and i am very proud of the authors for their achievement. I love getting to know Dickens more intimately through the 1st person account. Though it's ostensibly one person's subjective account of getting to know the bigger-than-life author on a personal level, it makes you feel like you're right there with the both of them as Dicken's and his American assistant, William, become friends and even co-conspirators. Barbour's and Edson's writing makes them both so real. And Edson's vocalization gave me a sense of really hearing the narration truly from the writer's own mouth. Great job all around. Great listen!
