Does what it says on the tin, taking us from 1917 to 1928, although the author did sometimes overwhelm me with statistics.

sophiasmithh I recently read your story and was truly impressed. Your storytelling and scene descriptions are incredible—you're very talented! I'm an artist and have loved creating since childhood. I'd love to share my work with you and maybe even create a special piece based on your story.

+ Interesting how Napoleon's rise affected outcomes in the liberation of SA. England supported Bolivar to get rid of Spain's cruel colonialism until they needed Spain to get rid of Nap.
+Bol wanted freedom and equality for all, which is why his government could not mirror US
+He formed and named Bolivia
-Harvey was clearly biased. At least 3 x he called Bol a prima donna
-Why did I choose a bio from a Welsh dude instead of a bio written from a SA?

I follow Lauren Grubaugh Thomas‘ Substack, A Soulful Revolution, and today‘s piece was hopeful and encouraging to me, as I feel somewhat at a loss over effective action in the face of current events. I‘ll link her piece below. She highlighted the tagged book and an upcoming series of online book discussions, if anyone‘s interested in joining in. I just put the book on hold at the library!

Today is the 233rd anniversary of the Baiser Lamourette (Lamourette Kissing), where priest and representative Lamourette enjoined his colleagues to make peace with each other after some stormy debates in Parliament. Hence the hugs and kisses portrayed in this ink drawing kept in the Louvre museum. I cannot picture the same thing happening today 😁

Mehso-so

The narration was excellent, but the way it was written was confusing for me as someone new to the study of 17th century England. I didn‘t understand why some aspects were heavily covered and some were barely touched on.
3/5 Read for a brief history of the British Civil War, a long history of the religious turmoil that led to it, & a smattering of history of thought, including an in depth but limited in scope discussion of The Blazing World
