(Doctor Booze, however, doesn't see much of a problem.) Even before Chouette's birth, Tiny realizes she will have to give up her career as a cellist-though music still fills her head, and a playlist of all the pieces mentioned in the book is included in an appendix. ![]() "Each of us knows from experience that birthing any child is the start of a lifelong terrorization by the very child we love, and yet we mothers are able to bear it because we love our children more than we love our own lives, even as our children blithely seek to destroy us." Tiny draws this conclusion several months into her new life as the mother of Chouette, a baby she conceived not with her husband, who is "kind, strong, steady, normal, and a bit of a looker," but with her owl lover, who is "giant, musky, molting, monstrous, amoral, uncivilized and fickle." As it turns out, her husband is horrified by the baby-whom he insists on calling Charlotte-as is the medical establishment, including Doctor Canola, who pronounces terrible diagnoses, and Doctor Great, who offers deforming treatments. A mother's unconditional love for her unusual child-an "owl-baby"-drastically changes her life and her world. ![]() 6/30/2023 0 Comments Rushdie the satanic verses![]() ![]() by Gabriel García Márquez About BookQuotersīookQuoters is a community of passionate readers who enjoy sharing the most meaningful, ― Salman Rushdie, quote from The Satanic Verses ![]() To will is to disagree not to submit to dissent.” angels, they don't have much in the way of a will.

These, combined with Japanese treasure recovered during the US occupation, and with recovered Nazi loot, would create a worldwide American political action fund to fight communism. President Truman decided to recover the gold but to keep its riches secret. In 1945, US intelligence officers in Manila discovered that the Japanese had hidden large quantities of gold bullion and other looted treasure in the Philippines. ![]() |
