The Chaperone is a captivating novel about the woman who chaperoned an irreverent Louise Brooks to New York City in 1922, and the summer that would change them both.
Only a few years before becoming a famous actress and an icon for her generation, a 15-year-old Louise Brooks leaves Wichita to make it big in New York. Much to her annoyance, she is accompanied by a thirty-six-year-old chaperone who is neither mother nor friend. Cora Carlisle is a complicated but traditional woman with her own reasons for making the trip. She has no idea what she's in for: Young Louise, already stunningly beautiful and sporting her famous blunt bangs and black bob, is known for her arrogance and her lack of respect for convention. Ultimately, the five weeks they spend together will change their lives forever.
For Cora, New York holds the promise of discovery that might prove an answer to the question at the center of her being, and even as she does her best to watch over Louise in a strange and bustling city, she embarks on her own mission. And while what she finds isn't what she anticipated, it liberates her in a way she could not have imagined. Over the course of the summer, Cora's eyes are opened to the promise of the 20th century and a new understanding of the possibilities for being fully alive.

I rate as follows: 5 Stars = Loved it. 4 Stars = Really liked it. 3 Stars = Liked it. 2 Stars = Didn't like it. 1 Star = Hated it.
It's been a long time since I've felt a book was as lovely and touching as "The Chaperone" turned out to be. I was unable to put down this engaging story once started; so much so that when my ipod fell to the floor and gasped its final breath last night, I found myself rushing to reach the store prior to its closing so I could grudgingly replace the traitorous device.
While (in reality) Louise Brooks may have been the star, in this novel it's Cora Carlisle that captures our hearts. We join Cora in 1922, during the summer of her 36th year. For reasons that will soon be reveled, she has decided to chaperone a then 15 year old Louise from Wichita Kansas to New York City, so Louise may participate in a dancing program she has been accepted to. I was amazed at how complete and authentic Cora was; reminding me of my mother, or the stories she tells me of my grandmother, at every turn. It would be so easy for an author to sell a character like this short; representing her strength but not her fear, or her fear without the background that caused it, or highlighting her open mind without bothering to first show us the searching or struggle gone through in order to open that mind. What makes us honorable in life is not what comes easily, but rather that which has been hard fought. As we look back on Cora's first 36 years, and follow her through the rest of her life, we are presented with a picture of a complete, strong, and kind woman that I will miss now that the story is over.
I've always been a fan of Elizabeth McGovern, and the narration was superb, treating Cora with the grace and dignity she deserved.
I really don't know how I'll be able to move from this special story to any other book. It leaves all other options looking a bit lackluster.

"The Bee's Knees and So Much More"
The Chaperone simultaneously depicts the changing social culture during the 1920's, as well as the feminist self-awakening of small town Wichitan, Cora Carlisle. The author uses actual historical events, places, and people to shuffle us through this momentous era - almost Forest Gump style - with recognizable period icons gliding along in Cora's backdrop like pictures in a scrapbook of her life, (flapper girls, bathtub gin, the Jazz age, racism and the KKK, women's suffrage, birth control, etc.). These fascinating images embellish Cora's recollections; they are recognizable, relatable, and immediately draw in the listener. The most exciting vehicle in Cora's transforming journey is the famous silent film star Louise Brooks, who is used more as a catalyst for the stoic Cora's introspection, and a representative image (and result) of rebellion, than a co-star in the book.
This book is immediately enchanting and breezy with nicely shaped characters, that coincidentally represent different personal pathways in this changing time (almost allegorical); sometimes appearing a little too convenient, a little too token--but understandably necessary to carry this story in its evolution. The pacing was a little bothersome...initially, I enjoyed being able, while I listened, to compare where we are now with our social mores, how we are still struggling with some of the same issues and restrictions; later, the story seemed to jump ahead, speed up, step back, and skip over important details. Moriarty so skillfully lays out the images and feelings of the era, the vivid streets of New York, the tumultuous social clashes, and I would have liked for her to use that talent to tell us more about the war, the depression, the Dust Bowl (which would have made a book double the size - but would have been all right with me; call me selfish).
I can't end without mentioning one of the most important underlying issues; the sexual abuse of Louise. I haven't read Louise's own account of her childhood, or testimonies to the 15 yr. old's psychological maturity, but, I know that being routinely sexually abused from the age of 9 yrs. old would not create a 15 yr. old girl that is cool, savvy, and spunky--as Louise was portrayed. The author hints at the self-destruction, and the reader follows the logic that she was a self-driven, uncannily beautiful woman, at ease with her sexuality and ahead of her times, when in reality, a background of such extreme abuse would sadly play itself out throughout a victimized person's life--and that was what was so heartbreaking about, and destructive to, Louise.
A touching and entertaining read I highly recommend. Elizabeth McGovern does a beautiful job, giving each character the emotional depth and individuality needed to do justice to such a huge story. You can't go wrong picking this one; a classic in the making.
Reading is a discount ticket to everywhere
"Acceptable Coming of Middle Age Portrait"
Cora accompanies a spoiled 15 yr old who's destined for greatness to New York. Fairly predictible, but well written and narrated. As a fan of Elizabeth McGovern, I enjoyed her range in bringing the different characters' voices to life. Cora's backstory is the most interesting part of the book. The author gives a lot of detail in some sections and then tries to wrap it up spanning long periods of time glazing over particulars to give each character a proper ending. Acceptable and interesting read, just don't expect a a neatly wrapped package nor a blockbuster.
Would pass on I like it and it's an interesting period piece; didn't love it.
"Stick with it!"
I was ready to drop this book after about the first third but then the story took a turn for the better. The story of Cora's self discovery is much more interesting than that of Louise Brooks development and i feared that's what the focus of the novel might be in spite of the title. I fully enjoyed the story although the narration was at times a bit grating (why does the narrator have an English lilt?) but overall did a fine job.
don't want to spoil it
Cora...strong. evolving, centered, smart.
Narration a bit too precious for me but overall worth the time and credit. Really enjoyed the story and writing style.

Elizabeth McGovern's beautiful reading.
Cora, of course.
I could listen to her reading while I was working onmy other computer.
Sometime the good guys win? I don't know.
This may be the best book I've ever listened to from Audible.com. I will certainly listen to it again. I have downloaded two more books, one by Laura Moriarty and one because it is read by Elizabeth McGovern. I certainly will get her reading of Downton Abbey.
I think I prefer women's voices because women read to me when I was a child. Those were peaceful quiet times. Something in me responds to being read to. I listen to a book every night on my Ipod, but some that are as good as this one, I listen to in the day because I don't want to miss anything.
"I was captivated by this book. Such a good read."
Loved this book. I don't write reviews often, but I buy books because of the reviews written. This story really touched me and I would highly recommend it.
"Loved It!"
So many surprises with these characters. It is interesting to see the changes in viewpoints and attitudes people can have as the events of their lives mold them.
I loved this book and EM's wonderful performance.
Addicted to Audible!
"Great characters and wonderful insight"
I was not expecting much of what happened in this book. The character development was one of the best I have read in a long time.The details of the era were fascinating and I enjoyed the twists and turns in the plot. The only negative was that I think the author wanted to wrap everything up perfectly at the end, some things could have been left to the imagination. All in all it was entertaining, had a great message and was well written. I liked Elizabeth McGoverns narration as I think it was accurate for the era and for a Kansas matron. I would highly recommend using your credits on this one!
"Not what I expected"
Elizabeth McGovern was awesome.
There are a lot of memorable scenes. I think the novel touches on human nature a lot.
Cora, because she is so real, and I think most readers will like her, though maybe not all of the time. But is anyone likable all of the time?
I really think this story is refreshing. Some of the period stuff is neat. I think it was well researched.
"Almost one of my all time favorites."
The first two parts of this novel were different, unexpected and very thought provoking. I was enthralled and spent the better part of two days listening. I loved the insight into the early days of women's rights from the perspective of a woman of the time who was neither a radical feminist nor a doormat. In addition, the early part of the plot is believable and engrossing. The novel was interesting simply for the story.
With that said, I think Moiarty needs a new editor. Ultimately, the third part of the book was a disappointment. Too many issues were addressed and wrapped up with a neat bow to the extent that the conclusion was a disappointment. The aspects of the book that, at the beginning were fascinating, ultimately became trite because too many issues were neatly concluded.
Even so, I really liked this book because Moiarty vividly painted the early part of the century and filled it with characters that were both flawed and human. Many of us can identify with most of them.
Elizabeth McGovern was fantastic and her accents were flawless. Don't let my complaints keep you from reading this book.

After going paleo, I have these food items that I don't eat anymore.
rolled oats, grits, whole wheat flour, and dry pasta (and also a pasta machine and pasta roller) Other than giving it away or eating it, are there any uses anyone can think of?
Note: I believe this is relevent to paleo because many people who switch to non-paleo suffer this dilema.

Message: He failed in business in '31. He was defeated for state legislator in '32. He tried another business in '33. It failed. His fiancee died in '35. He had a nervous breakdown in '36. In '43 he ran for congress and was defeated. He tried again in '48 and was defeated again. He tried running for the Senate in '55. He lost. The next year he ran for Vice President and lost. In '59 he ran for the Senate again and was defeated. In 1860, the man who signed his name A. Lincoln, was elected the 16th President of the United States. The difference between history's boldest accomplishments and its most staggering failures is often, simply, the diligent will to persevere.

Having just had to jump through hoops for our daughter to obtain a driver's permit today which included birth certificate, pieces of mail with her name on it and other numerous requirements, I wonder if anyone knows what Connecticut requires for an illegal alien to obtain a permit. Surely not a birth certificate, mail not older than 90 days (what 16 year old gets mail by the way these days).
Hey folks, has anyone ever thought about the government officials living off of us regular folks? If you have a chance, just think about it.
'Socialist': You have two cows. The government takes one and gives it to your neighbor. 'Democrat': You have two cows. Your neighbor has none. You feel guilty for being successful. You vote people into office who tax your cows, forcing you to sell one to raise money to pay the tax. The people you voted for then take the tax money and buy a cow and give it to your neighbor. You feel righteous. 'Communist': You have two cows. The government seizes both cows and provides you with a cup of milk. 'Republican': You have two cows. You sell one, buy a bull and build a herd of cows. - Courtesy of the 'Tea Party'
Biden deserves the "Idiot of the Year" award based on what he would have his wife do. If somebody is breaking into your home:
1) Find key to gun safe
2) Unlock gun safe, take out and load your double barrel shotgun.
3) Go to window and fire two shots in the air
4) Grab barrel and if you still have time, wang the intruder over the head with the now empty double barrel shotgun.
Yeah, that will sure solve the problem. If by chance it does scare away the intruder, then prepare for the law suits from people who were gazing up at the clouds looking at Obama fairy dust money and got hit by falling pellets and are now traumatized. Hint: If you want fast response when you call 911, do not say that somebody is breaking in, say you just shot somebody breaking in.
I have to ask all Liberals do you really believe Obama? How in God's name can anyone believe this man? He lies every time is mouth is moving. I know you worship at his altar but you can't be that stupid to believe him. Continued...
Education budget-it is time for the educators to put up or shut up.
With all the money we spend on education,our kids should be geniuses,taking over the world. Instead we have stagnant test scores and kids that do not know anything, if this was the case in any other area, business,municipal or state run operation,there would be clamoring for the group so supported to improve, but being education all anyone can think to do is through money at the problem. Its time the common man says "enough already!"
Unchecked Laissez-faire capitalism may have been strong. But business was far more regulated after the depression through America's Golden age. The decline of the family in the twentieth century coincided with deregulation and the decline in the balance between labor and capital. Only more recently have we began to put more regulation into place.
The pain and suffering that resulted from the recent recession was not the result of more government regulation and intrusion on business.
It was a greedy, deregulated financial industry that was the catalyst. (And yes, those who felt entitled to homes they couldn't afford.)
