Once again, Vowell has created a rich blend of history, humor, and politics; and turned a well known story into a book that you won't want to put down. Vowell tells the story of the American Revolution through the lens of the Marquis de Lafayette's involvement - and weaves that story with the tale of his return journey in 1824, and contemporary politics (yes, really). Detailed, insightful and very funny - this is a book you will enjoy as you read it, and will remember long after you've turned the last page. ~ Reviewed by Rachel Person

This assured debut shifts between punk scene of 1980s England and Africa in the 1970s, at the bloody end of Portuguese colonial rule. The author perfectly evokes two fascinating eras, while crafting an intricate and often funny tale of family, healing, and redemption. A young american adrift in Brighton after his sister's death finds himself as a caretaker for Hans Bromwell, quadriplegic bankrupt aristocrat - and grouch. Bromwell's sister Elizabeth is the household's Scheherazade, slowly spinning tales of her marriage to a Portuguese doctor and their time with the Portuguese army, at war in Africa. As Elizabeth's tale unfolds, each character begins to face his or her own past, and two families - on separate continents - fumble their way toward a better future. ~ Reviewed by Rachel Person
