![]() Reluctant loyalty, it is true, but loyalty nonetheless. The story of True Grit is mainly a study of loyalty. When invited by The New York Review to write about the very successful western (if it is a western about which more follows) and Coen brothers movie adaptation of Charles Portis’s twice-filmed novel True Grit, we watched Henry Hathaway’s 1969 version starring John Wayne and Kim Darby, Joel’s and Ethan’s version, and also read Portis’s much-praised novel, on top of which we breezed through quite a few reviews, as well as portions of the production notes.

I knew there must be more to Anne’s story than this and I hoped to learn more about her from this new novel.Īlison Weir refers to Anne as Anna, so I will do the same for the rest of this post. Before I began, all I really knew about Anne was that Thomas Cromwell was instrumental in arranging her marriage to Henry, that the King was disappointed when he saw her in the flesh as she didn’t live up to the Hans Holbein portrait he had seen, and that after their divorce she lived in comfort and was given the honour of being described as the King’s ‘beloved sister’. ![]() I enjoyed the previous three – on Katherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn and Jane Seymour – but I was particularly looking forward to reading this one, on Henry’s fourth wife, Anne of Cleves. ![]() This is the fourth book in Alison Weir’s Six Tudor Queens series which aims to retell in fictional form the stories of all six of Henry VIII’s wives. ![]() ![]() ![]() The company’s alleged wrongdoing had nothing to do with her.

Though Davis never lacked for spirit and dedication, his handicaps were severe. ![]() ![]() Lincoln’s use of vast resources is brilliantly contrasted to Davis’s valiant struggle for political and economic stability in a hopelessly fragmented and underdeveloped south. His determination and uncanny vision of the destiny of the country and its people far transcended the plaguing tensions, fears, and frustrations of his cabinet and Congress. In the north Lincoln remained resolute in the belief that a house divided against itself could not stand. Through the kaleidoscope tone and temper of the struggle, two men, different in stature, but similar in dedication to their awesome tasks, grappled with the burden of being leaders both in politics and war. This is an eloquent study of the bitterest years of the war when death slashed the country with a brutality unparalleled in the history of the United States. ![]() The final volume of Bruce Catton's monumental Centennial History of the Civil War traces the war from Fredericksburg through the succeeding grim and relentless campaigns to the Courthouse at Appomattox and the death of Lincoln. ![]() ![]() ![]() If I look in the mirror, my reflection is there.
