Major Charles Major Charles Major (July 25, 1856 February 13, 1913) was an American lawyer and novelist. Born to an upper-middle class Indianapolis family, Major developed in interest in both law and English history at an early age and attended the University of Michigan from 1872 through 1875, being admitted to the Indiana bar association in 1877. Shortly thereafter he opened his own law practice, which launched a short political career, culminating in a year-long term in the Indiana state legislature . Writing remained an interest of Major, and in 1898, he published his first novel, When Knighthood Was in Flower . The novel about England during the reign of King Henry VIII was an exhaustively researched historical romance, and became enormously popular, holding a place on the New York Times bestselling list for nearly three years. The novel was adapted into a popular Broadway play by Paul Kester in 1901, premiering at the Criterion Theatre that year. The novel also launched relatively successful film adaptations in 1908 and 1922. With a successful writing career, Major gradually lessened his legal obligations, closing his law practice over a year after his first novel, in 1899. Published in 1902, his second novel, Dorothy Vernon of Haddon Hall , another historical romance, this time set in Elizabethan times, rivaled the success of his first. Once again, the novel was adapted for the theater by Paul Kester, and saw a film release in 1924 starring Mary Pickford . Major continued t... ... Read more

Emilie Carles is someone for all to admire, or even idolize
I read this book quite a few years ago and it remains fresh in my memory.There was nothing about it I did not totally love, especially Emilie.I was sad to see that there was only one other review of this excellent book. Everyone should read it, it is absolutely beautiful.

Wonderful look at life of French mountain girlin 1900s.
This is a book about endemic people, who, like plants, are rooted to a certain time and place with a specificity that is hard for a lot of us alive today to know. Emilie's tale of her tough life in the ruggedmountains near Italy is told with such a wonderful conversational anderror-laden english - completely engaging and romantic, with photos ofpeople in the story she is telling.I read it while at my best friendshouse in Grenoble, and then we drove to the very town in the alps thatEmilie grew up in. It was like a time capsule except for the cross countryski inns that have popped up and started a commercialization process. Butthe story she tells is of people who are like certain french cheeses madein a certain valley, that if you went over the mountain and into the nextvalley, that cheese could not be replicated. This is a great story and youwill fall in love with it if you are someone who is nostalgic for a timeand place when harsh weather, rugged mountains, and lots of work to do athome made a journey of 20 miles felt like it took you to another planet. ...
