#31 A Great and Terrible Beauty

Author: Libba Bray

The first in the Gemma Doyle trilogy, A Great and Terrible Beauty introduces Gemma Doyle who, on her sixteenth birthday, has a vision of her mother choosing to commit suicide rather than succumb to a dark shadow. The scandal prompts the Doyle family to leave India and return to England where Gemma is sent to Spence Academy, a boarding school for young ladies. Gemma faces two perilous tasks--finding out the truth about her motherapos;s death and dealing with the social politics of teenage girls. Iapos;d first read this book when it came out a few years ago and I remember being very taken with how Bray portrayed the social and economic restrictions women faced in the Victorian age and how those same restrictions led Gemma and her friends to make the choice to literally grab power when given the chance despite the warnings from her motherapos;s spirit.

#32 4:50 from Paddington

Author: Agatha Christie

The second book in my quest to read all of Christieapos;s novels, 4:50 from Paddington tells the story of Mrs. McGillicuddy who, while traveling from London after doing some Christmas shopping, sees a man strangling a woman on a train running on a parallel track. Unfortunately, no one believes her. Mrs. McGillicuddy is friends with Miss Jane Marple, twinkling little old lady and detective extraordinaire, who decides that they must first find the body in order to get the authorities to admit a crime was committed. Miss Marple turns to Lucy Eyelesbarrow, Oxford graduate and domestic help, for assistance. Lucy acquires a position at Rutherford Hall, the grand estate most likely to be hiding the body, and gets to work sorting out Rutherford Hall and trying to find the dead woman. I enjoyed this more than Endless Night; for one thing, the characters here had more personality and the plot moved more quickly.

Next up: I was reading Cornelia Otis Skinner and Emily Kimbroughapos;s Our Hearts Were Young and Gay but ran into a few problems with the digital copy I was reading. It was missing page 98 and I was willing to overlook that but then I noticed five more pages missing further into the book. Iapos;m waiting on my paper copy to come in the mail in order to finish. So Iapos;ve started the second book in the Gemma Doyle trilogy, Rebel Angels.
