Deep dive into the lead-up and start of the American Revolution. So far, so good.

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 😁

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

"The rhetoric of protest unsupported by the means of enforcement amounted to little more than bombast."

I recently read an article about the benefits of reading middle school novels, that it can bring back a sense of wonder and optimism. This book was on the list of recommendations in that article.

It was a quick read, I enjoyed it, I rooted for Feo, her wolves and her crew… but my god… I sobbed MORE THAN ONCE..lol! 😭
Definitely a darker middle school book, but if the kids are up for it, it‘d do its job of rallying them to stand up for themselves.
