Carrington’s Down Below while unlike her eccentric fiction is itself a horrifically surreal memoir. After her lover the Surrealist Max Ernst is interned in a concentration camp, Carrington has a mental breakdown and is herself committed (by her family no less) to a vicious asylum in Spain. She lucidly describes not only her own mental state but also the terrible medical treatments she endured before her final escape with the help of her old nursemaid arriving via submarine, and her subsequent escape from her before making her way to North America where she would become one of Mexico’s greatest painters. ~ Reviewed by Dafydd Wood

"I grieve that grief can teach me nothing, nor carry me one step into real nature. " - Ralph Waldo Emerson
Santlofer speaks of grief as a series of details preceding and trailing behind the sudden death of his wife. It does not read as a heinously uplifting account of the ways grief can inspire and better ourselves; it is instead like a conversation with a friend who knows exactly what you are going through. ~ Reviewed by Katelynne Shimkus

Well-bred, well-read, well connected, First Lady Sarah Polk wielded immense power behind a polished façade as the demure, pious wife of President James K. Polk. She partnered with his bloody warmongering; freely owned, bought, and sold slaves; preferred politics to domestic rituals, and became known as "Mrs. Presidentess." ~ Reviewed by Mike Hare
