The sequence of events is hard to reconstruct: inevitably, mothers and fathers must have each known half of a story, either within or without the birthing chamber. My own daughter’s birth made me think a lot harder about that sequence of events that routinely separated medieval mothers from ...
Lupica’s new Spenser novel is fantastically smooth–so hard to put down (my two-legged family members keep demanding it however, as does my employer. The four-legged family members are much more understanding). There might be too many characters in thisWhat If…book. Or too many voices ...
