“A tremendous amount of narratives come from him, more than many authors are aware, I think.” “Shakespeare is so fundamental to the way we see story,” she says. Serle says she wasn’t daunted by taking on one of the most beloved works ever in her debut. We hit on Romeo and Juliet and wondered, ‘Whatever happened to Rosaline?’ Immediately something clicked in my head. “I was over at my best friend’s house, talking about love stories and eating ice cream. “I was heartbroken because someone had pulled a Romeo on me,” she says. But far from a postmodern intellectual exercise, Serle’s primary inspiration came from real-life experience. She lists Tom Stoppard’s Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead-an alternative take on Hamlet from the point of view of the Danish prince’s ill-fated best friends-as serving, in part, as a model for When You Were Mine. Serle, an effervescent personality in her mid-20s with a fetching smile and easy laugh, received her MFA from The New School in New York City. Maybe my concentration skipped a bit – if you’ve read it please do fill me in – there is this bit where Katey takes it in her head to resign? I didn’t really understand why. So, there was a great setting both in time and place, a variety of characters – but where this book dipped was with the plot. Many may be called, but few are chosen – and we are taken through Katey’s interactions with a few: Eve, her roommate Tinker Grey, their mutual friend, Wallace, a fine upstanding citizen Dickie, a romantic interlude and Anne Grandyn, the twist in the plot. She goes to bars symbolic of various immigrant communities, she lives with the working class, socializes with the rich, works with the media and manages to rub shoulders with a large array of people. It is a novel about New York more than it is about Katey, our protagonist. This novel is entirely dependent on its setting. The narrator, visiting the exhibition in the 60s is swept back to her youth and the book is an account of her life in 1938. This was all to introduce a “chastened” society, captured (in real life) by Walker Evans in a photographic collection: ‘Many Are Called”. I thought the first couple of pages were genius – especially the parallels between Manhattan in the 1930s and the Manhattan of 9/11 and beyond – very subtly done. #1 New York Times bestselling author Cokie Roberts brings us women who fought the Revolution as valiantly as the men, often defending their very doorsteps. While much has been written about the men who signed the Declaration of Independence, battled the British, and framed the Constitution, the wives, mothers, sisters and daughters they left behind have been little noticed by history. From #1 New York Times bestselling author Cokie Roberts comes New York Times bestseller Founding Mothers, an intimate and illuminating look at the fervently patriotic and passionate women whose tireless pursuits on behalf of their families–and their country–proved just as crucial to the forging of a new nation as the rebellion that established it.
