It deals with day to day living as the couple, Brenda & John Davison, make their journey, often in company with other boats that they meet along the way. The book has a simple charm as it deals with their adventures in locks, encounters with the locals, what they did well and what they did badly. The whole trip was a positive experience, as they overcame preconceptions regarding the French, and built confidence in themselves and their craft. The book is a re-publication of Brenda's earlier version with an additional chapter describing their return journey 4 years later and changes they found. It also includes new photographs. Floating Through France is definately worth buying if you are contemplating a similar journey. It is not a pilot book but may save you a few blunders along the way, and provide you with a delightful read.

In this, Brenda's second book about the sailing life, they take possession of a new boat in Holland and sail through Holland and Belgium to France. The book describes their journey as they begin to get used to a new boat in a new country, and gives a fascinating insight into the the places they pass through, describing their feelings as they develop, from the early nervous excitement through trepidation to confidence and even aplomb.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today we think of ukiyo-e—“the pictures of the floating world”—as masterpieces of Japanese art, highly prized throughout the world. Yet it is often said that ukiyo-e were little appreciated in their own time and were even used as packing material for ceramics. In Picturing the Floating World, Julie Nelson Davis debunks this myth and demonstrates that ukiyo-e was thoroughly appreciated as a field of artistic production, worthy of connoisseurship and canonization by its contemporaries. Putting these images back into their dynamic context, she shows how consumers, critics, and makers produced and sold, appraised and collected, and described and recorded ukiyo-e. She recovers this multilayered world of pictures in which some were made for a commercial market, backed by savvy entrepreneurs looking for new ways to make a profit, while others were produced for private coteries and high-ranking connoisseurs seeking to enrich their cultural capital. The book opens with an analysis of period documents to establish the terms of appraisal brought to ukiyo-e in late eighteenth-century Japan, mapping the evolution of the genre from a century earlier and the development of its typologies and the creation of a canon of makers—both of which have defined the field ever since. Organized around divisions of major technological and aesthetic developments, the book reveals how artistic practice and commercial enterprise were intertwined throughout ukiyo-e’s history, from its earliest imagery through the twentieth century. The depiction of particular subjects in and for the floating world of urban Edo and the process of negotiating this within the larger field of publishing are examined to further ground ukiyo-e as material culture, as commodities in a mercantile economy. Picturing the Floating World offers a new approach: a critical yet accessible analysis of the genre as it was developed in its social, cultural, and political milieu. The book introduces students, collectors, and enthusiasts to ukiyo-e as a genre under construction in its own time while contributing to our understanding of early modern visual production.

Book excerpt: The world knows Parisian private investigator Aimée Leduc, heroine of 15 mysteries in this New York Times bestselling series, as a très chic, no-nonsense detective—the toughest and most relentless in the City of Lights. Now, author Cara Black dips back in time to reveal how Aimée first came to inherit Leduc Detective . . . November 1989: Aimée Leduc is in her first year of college at Paris’s preeminent medical school. She lives in a 17th-century apartment that overlooks the Seine with her father, who runs the family detective agency. But the week the Berlin Wall crumbles, so does Aimée’s life as she knows it. First, someone has sabotaged her lab work, putting her at risk of failing out of the program. Then, she finds out her aristo boyfriend is getting engaged to another woman. And finally, Aimée’s father takes off to Berlin on a mysterious errand. He asks Aimée to help out at the detective agency while he’s gone—as if she doesn’t already have enough to do. But the case Aimée finds herself investigating—a murder linked to a transport truck of Nazi gold that disappeared in the French countryside during the height of World War II—has gotten under her skin. Her heart may not lie in medicine after all—maybe it’s time to think harder about the family business.

Book excerpt: A family vacation dredges up a boatload of trouble in the next witty, insightful novel from the acclaimed author of The Intermission. "An irresistible drama filled with humor and heart-tugging emotion about family and what it means to belong. I absolutely adore Friedland's warm, witty writing!"—Emily Giffin, #1 New York Times bestselling author of All We Ever Wanted Sink or swim. Or at least that's what Annette Feldman tells herself when she books a cruise for her entire family. It's been over a decade since the Feldman clan has spent more than twenty-four hours under the same roof, but Annette is determined to celebrate her seventieth birthday the right way. Just this once, they are going to behave like an actual family. Too bad her kids didn't get the memo. Between the troublesome family secrets, old sibling rivalries, and her two teenage grandkids, Annette's birthday vacation is looking more and more like the perfect storm. Adrift together on the open seas, the Feldmans will each face the truths they've been ignoring—and learn that the people they once thought most likely to sink them are actually the ones who help them stay afloat.

Book excerpt: Book 1 of 18: Bennett Sisters Mysteries * An Enchanting Series! Such a delightful read. Fell in love with the characters, especially Merle and Pascal! Ms. McClendon has the exceptional ability to perform the magic of transporting this reader, and I'm sure others, to a place both familiar and foreign, but known deep down in one's psyche. I'm so very glad to have discovered the magic. Winsome and a bit addictive Had no idea what to expect when began this first series but became quite caught up in it all. The characters and mystery, the enchanting descriptions and personal struggles drew me into feeling as if these people are my friends. * Excellent author and story teller--Found her stories hard to put down. They were so human, suspenseful and darn good. The sisters become your sisters and their experience become yours. The authors description of person places and circumstances are so real you feel them. A great author. Delightful Sisters and Adventures --This is one of the most delightful series I have ever read... filled with adventure and excitement. Romance, joy of living and dead bodies accompany their adventures! You will be amused and mesmerized by this delightful series! * Highly recommended-- One of the best of the 50 or so books I've read during the pandemic stay at home. When Merle Bennett's husband suddenly dies, she is left adrift to deal with parenting their son, dealing with a mess of finances, and some of his sordid secrets. She decides to chuck it all for the moment and go to France, where he's left her a rundown cottage in the Dordogne. Once Merle gets there, she finds...well, France! An unexpected romance! Mystery galore! Murder! And not just murder, but the unnerving experience of being a suspect. Once her passport is confiscated, what can she do but stay and restore her ancient battered house? While enjoying the tender attention of the unusually well-educated, handsome and...yes, quite mysterious roofer she's hired. Particularly recommended for those who love France, whether you visit in reality or virtually, enjoying a glass of wine, this journey of self-discovery, and the power of sisterhood. Mystery lovers, chick lit fans, and cozy fanatics will all find it très chouette— more prosaically, simply awesome. Not to mention formidable!
