A Company of Swans - Eva Ibbotson
A Company of Swans - Eva Ibbotson

Harriet is the daughter of the worst professor at Cambridge, a man who doesn't mind teaching her Latin, but won't even consider the possibility of her attending university. Her aunt, Louisa, keeps house for them and is the cheapest person ever, so were Harriet to hack them to pieces with an ax, no one would be surprised. fortunately, Harriet is offered the opportunity to join the corps of a ballet troupe headed up the Amazon for an extended stay among the insanely wealthy rubber barons of 1912.
It's a delightful book. Just as in [book:A Countess Below Stairs|714569], the heroine isn't brilliant at everything, but she is charming and kind. The hero is a good man, which we know because of his efforts to protect a native tribe (or two). Sure he's a colonial making a fortune, but he treats his workers well, and cares about their long-term interests (if not their land rights).
In addition, we are treated to the amusing characters of the ballet company, a buffoon of a suitor for Harriet, an entrancing young boy, a scheming Scarlett O'Hara type, and quite a lot of natural history. Fleas get their due, as does a coati.
The magic of the book is that Ibbotson tells an Edwardian love story in a way that mostly feels authentic and also progressive. Perhaps it's because when the author brings in a <i>deus ex machina</i> she proclaims it as such. Maybe it's because our leads are enjoying everything unabashedly. I don't know, what the magic is, but I bet you anything you like that Ibbotson had FUN writing this book.

Library copy.

PM’s Favorite/Essential History Reading List (2 of 2)
Helter Skelter: The True Story of the Manson Murders - Curt Gentry,Vincent Bugliosi
Manson: The Life and Times of Charles Manson - Jeff Guinn
The Man with the Candy: The Story of the Houston Mass Murders - Jack Olsen
The Road to Jonestown: Jim Jones and Peoples Temple - Jeff Guinn
Harry Potter: A History of Magic - J.K. Rowling,British Library,Julian Harrison,Julia Eccleshare,Roger Highfield,Anna Pavord,Lucy Mangan,Tim Peake,Owen Davies,Richard Coles,Steve Backshall,Steve Kloves

My submission for Chris's crowdsourced nonfiction history reading list, part 2. These are the more recent history (back half of 20th century) and one general world history book.

 

Helter Skelter: The True Story of the Manson Murders (Vietnam Era)

The original account of Charles Manson and the Manson Family, written by the attorney who prosecuted the cases. I’m uncertain if this should be considered “true crime” rather than “historical crime”, as this book was written only a few years after the trials, rather than from a historian’s perspective.

 

Manson: The Life and Times of Charles Manson (Vietnam Era)

A more historical account of Manson and Family, very detailed and graphic, with some perspective on the sociopolitical climate of the time. The audio format works well here.

 

The Man With The Candy: The Story of The Houston Mass Murders (Vietnam Era)

It’s pretty amazing that 28 teenagers could disappear within a few square miles with zero interest from local law enforcement, or even the general public. Similar to Helter Skelter, this was written very shortly after the actual events, so it may be a better fit under “true crime” than “historical crime”. I’d like to read a well-researched account from a more historical perspective.

 

The Road to Jonestown: Jim Jones and Peoples Temple (Vietnam Era)

A thorough examination of the evolution of The Peoples Temple from its socialist ideals and Christian roots to a cult willing and able to commit the 1978 atrocity of mass suicide and murder of over 900 men, women, and children. My review here.

 

Harry Potter: A History of Magic (General World History)

This is the companion book to the British Library exhibition of the same name, examining historical artefacts with a connection to magic, using the Potter books for context. Truly a lot of fun.
