The House of Morgan, Chernow shows, spawned consequential enterprises on both sides of the Atlantic. To a significant extent, moreover, the narrative lives up to the subtitle's promise to track the development of latter-day finance. Whereas most annalists leave off with the 1913 death of John Pierpont, Chernow (a former staff member at the Twentieth Century Fund) delivers a start-to-present chronicle, tracing the Morgan dynasty from the mid-19th century-when founding father Junius Spencer left New England to assume control of a London-based merchant bank-through 1987's traumatic stock-market break. ![]() ![]() A brilliant, generation-spanning history of the Morgan banking empire, which offers a wealth of social and political as well as economic perspectives. ![]() 5/28/2023 0 Comments The wrong bachelor alexandra moody![]() The Wrong Bachelor is a book I've had my eye on for a while-though it's not my absolute favorite trope, the enemies falling in love plot line is usually pretty enjoyable.

Read Wuthering Heights when you’re 18 and you think Heathcliff is a romantic hero when you’re 30, he’s a monster at 50 you see he’s just human. When characters appear, their photographs are pinned to the back wall, as if to a suspects board when they die, they remove their photos as they exit (six actors play 11 roles).

The woman at the table scrapes a carrot with a large knife: Nelly the housekeeper (Giulia Innocenti, also a founder member of Inspector Sands) is at the centre of what seems to be a sort of police procedural. This is the world of Emily Brontë’s 1847 novel as conceived by director Lucinka Eisler and writer Ben Lewis (both founding members of theatre company Inspector Sands, co-producer, here, with Royal & Derngate, China Plate and Oxford Playhouse). Around her rise three gloomy, dark walls, punctuated by elongated openings above her, a shadowed balcony runs the length of the back wall.
