I've been doing Throwback Thursdays for a while but I noticed that I wrote a lot of reviews in a short time when I first started. One of my blogger friends always posts the reviews of one month but that would be too much. So, these are my reviews for the first part from April 2012.
James, Henry "The American" - 1875
1875, towards the end of the 19th century, society thinks it has become more modern. But has it really? There are still a lot of class differences.

Moyle, Franny "Constance: The Tragic and Scandalous Life of Mrs. Oscar Wilde" - 2011
Franny Moyle describes Constance Wilde's life from the beginning to the end, her youth in poverty, her ascent into society after marrying Oscar and the inevitable fall after his secret life was unveiled. How much power a woman has when it comes to the task to prevent her loved ones from disaster.

Smucker, Barbara "Underground to Canada" - 1977
The novel tells the story of two slave girls who escape from a plantation in Mississippi, and steal toward Canada on the Underground Railroad.

Vonnegut, Kurt "Breakfast of Champions" - 1973
The author is playing with words just for the sake of it. This book is hilarious, it gives you a good laugh. But it is also very critical. I loved it.
