The Paperwhite Narcissus | Cynthia Riggs

pick

My first introduction to this delightful, 92 year old sleuth & local newspaper writer, Victoria Trumbull. A generational native of Martha‘s Vineyard,she has the respect of most Islanders,which helps when she investigates several murders. Are they linked, or random, separately acts? The authors, descriptive writing evokes, the islands, terrain, and beauty. She establishes a wonderful sense of place, #cozy #serieslove2025 #coffeeandbooks

julieclair What a lovely way to spend the morning! Thanks for sharing that interesting article. And, I‘ve stacked Common Sense. Haven‘t read it since high school. I think it‘s high time for a re-read! 1w

GingerAntics I had a student come in with an essay claiming that Thomas Paine argued that Americans should eat Irish children and how horrible people were in colonial times for doing this… the kid was assigned to read Common Sense and a Modest Proposal and was supposed to write about the power of political pamphlets as persuasive writing. My head hurts again just typing this. Clearly he didn‘t understand satire or that he read two different pamphlets. (edited) 1w

kspenmoll @GingerAntics OMG!!!!!😱🤯😳🤦🏼‍♀️ 1w

GingerAntics @kspenmoll yeah! I was SO confused when I was reading his paper because I kept thinking Common Sense doesn‘t even mention Irish children… it doesn‘t even use those two words. It wasn‘t until I asked to see the instructions that I figured out what happened. 1w

GingerAntics @kspenmoll he also would not believe me that A Modest Proposal was satire. He insisted that one of the many atrocities of the British colonists was cannibalism, mainly of Irish children. He somehow concluded that Irish children must have tasted better and been more beef like. 🤯🤦🏼‍♀️🥃 1w
