Bodenheimer defines the personal paradoxes that helped to shape Eliot's fictional characters and narrative style. Bodenheimer revisits pivotal episodes in Mary Ann Evans's life and career, including the "Holy War" through which she asserted her youthful religious skepticism; her decision to elope with the married writer George Henry Lewes; and her marriage with John Cross after Lewes's death. Bodenheimer also discusses the rumor campaign that led to the discovery that "George Eliot" was a woman, and she traces the trajectory of Eliot's impassioned conflict between her ambition and her womanhood.
"Thorson has a brilliant idea in mixing the world of Alice with a murder mystery. The result is a demented but internally consistent detective story... Although tackling a pastiche of a well-loved children's book is a daunting task, Thorson succeeds beautifully. She deftly captures Carroll's absurdity, wordplay, and unsettling strangeness and rings some changes of her own." -Kirkus Reviews Things that start with the letter M: murder... motives... Mary Ann... Mary Ann Carpenter, housemaid to Wonderland's White Rabbit, misses all the action when Alice drops into town. She has her own problems. As witness to the murder of her estranged father, Mary Ann must go under-underground to learn more about the man she barely knew and the motives for his death. But the more she discovers, the more M-words keep coming. Like magic mirrors, monsters, mistaken identity and a murderer who is the mysterious manservant to the Queen of Hearts. Mary Ann is mightily moved to unmask his malicious machinations, but can she unearth the evidence, expose the killer and keep a cool head?
Mary Ann, es una reflexi n interna y profunda de la esencia del ser humano, desde el sentimiento, et reo y existencial. Puede sonar un poquito complicado, pero no es m s que encontrar esa parte de ti, ese lugar en donde te sientes a plenitud y por ende en paz contigo, con los dem s y con el universo.Muchas veces, en la b squeda de nuestra propia esencia, nos alejamos de lo que realmente somos, nos olvidamos de d nde venimos, y por consiguiente se nos hace dif cil saber hacia d nde vamos. La esencia de Mary Ann es un ejemplo claro de c mo en la b squeda de nosotros mismos, casi siempre terminamos perdi ndonos, o perdiendo lo que es m s importante e irrecuperable que tenemos como seres; el tiempo de vida y el cual deber amos esforzarnos cada d a para vivirlo a plenitud. Cometemos errores que nos duran a veces para toda la vida, hasta que somos capaces de encontrar nuevamente esa "esencia" y retomarla. La esencia que nos mueve interiormente a ser m s felices cada d a. Sea la situaci n que sea e independientemente de la actividad que escojamos, si lo hacemos constantemente, con tenacidad y pasi n, llegar el d a en que dar sus frutos y lo m s importante es que estaremos en nuestra propia esencia, haciendo lo que amamos y estando en donde queremos estar.

On a cloudy February morning, heading home from an uneventful trip to the Sunday flea market, I reluctantly turn into a deserted parking lot. I noticed two dealers were here at opposite ends. Little did I expect this would turn into a year and half long pilgrimage where I would learn much about the self-taught artist Horace Pippin. It was one of his paintings, telling a specific story that I carried with me to friends, to new acquaintances, to libraries, to museums, to auction houses, to the USPS, and to many more places using it as a torch to guide my way. In the end it proved to be one of the most exciting journeys I have experienced. I feel very enriched to have found Horace Pippin.
