Mrs. Robinson's Disgrace: the private diary of a Victorian lady

 -  Kate Summerscale

Headstrong, high-spirited, and already widowed, Isabella Walker became Mrs. Henry Robinson at age 31 in 1844. Henry traveled often and was cold and remote, leaving Isabella to her fantasies.

Isabella chose to record her innermost thoughts—and especially her infatuation with a married Dr. Edward Lane—in her diary. Over five years the entries mounted—passionate, sensual, suggestive. One fateful day in 1858 Henry chanced on the diary and read Isabella's intimate entries. Aghast, Henry petitioned for divorce on the grounds of adultery. Their trial would be a cause celebre, threatening the foundations of Victorian society with the specter of "a new and disturbing figure: a middle class wife who was restless, unhappy, avid for arousal."

Atlantic Fever: Lindbergh, his competitors and the race to cross the Atlantic

  -  Joe Jackson

For five weeks—from April 14 to May 21, 1927—the world held its breath while fourteen aviators took to the air to capture the $25,000 prize  offered to the first man to cross the Atlantic Ocean without stopping.
Atlantic Fever is about this race, a milestone in American history whose story has never been fully told. Delving into the lives of the big-name competitors—the polar explorer Richard Byrd, the French war hero René Fonck, the millionaire Charles Levine, and the race’s eventual winner, the enigmatic Charles Lindbergh—as well as those whose names have been forgotten by history, Jackson brings a completely fresh and original perspective to the race to conquer the Atlantic.
