Books Review : Mademoiselle de Maupin

Published in 2 volumes in 1835, this ground breaking book cause much ado in 19th century France. Describing the plight of the Chevalier d’Albert in his quest for the perfect woman and combining the escapades of the historic figure, Madeline de Maupin.
D’Albert is tormented by his unattainable ideal of the perfect woman and settles for the beautiful but second best widow, Rosette. During a holiday at her family Chateau, d’Albert finally meets his vision of beauty and falls head over heels in love but only to discover the vision is male!
Madeline de Maupin leaves home at 17 years of age on a quest to discover the truth about men and their real thoughts on women. To succeed in this quest she assumes the clothes and pursuits of men, pursuits including the seduction and wooing of young women. But will her quest for the true nature of men lead her to love? How will d’Albert reconcile with his perfect love being male? And what is the history between Rosette and the handsome horseman, Theodore?
This historic novel was considered ground breaking in its time for the themes it addressed so openly, homosexuality, gender roles, cross dressing and the idea that women too have desires and ideas on their love life. D’Albert has the soul of an artist and as so his descriptions are epic in detail whereas de Maupin’s story is short and to the point. This contrast in narration is intended as a reflection of the characters telling their tales. Overall an interesting story giving a glimpse of 18th century rural life.

Review by C.S.Hyde

This beautifully written novel takes place in an English village during the 1950’s, telling the tale of Lewis Aldridge. It starts in 1957 when Lewis returns home from prison aged 19, then zooms backwards in time, to ten years earlier when it is Lewis’ father returning home from war. Lewis’ mother, a clever, glamorous lady is involved in a tragic accident and Lewis and his Father are left on their own.
The pair handle their own grief in completely different ways and are unable to comfort each other; resulting in Lewis growing up and learning to in a sense look after himself, which combining his grief and being 10 years old leads to devastating consequences. As Lewis is involved in one catastrophe after each other, you can’t stop reading as you will him to better himself and for everything to turn out ok. Like watching a car crash, this book is both difficult to put down, yet difficult to continue with.
This haunting novel, while being quite easy to read, is written in such a manner that it will stay with me for a long time. I was one minute on the verge of tears, the next overwhelmed by anger, shock, then despair and then hope. A true emotional rollercoaster of a read, that leaves you wanting to know more.

Carp Tackle - Bait Boats

I was sat on the bank enjoying a days carp fishing. The weather was good, the water was calm and the bite count was quite productive.
The pond is located in a large private, well hidden area. There are generous coverings of lily pads and other greenery.
About 4 hours into the day, a chap had arrived on the opposite bank. After tackling up and before he cast for the first time, I saw him put what looked like a remote controlled boat.
My first thoughts were 'How can he think of playing with a remote controlled boat when fishing?' I was thinking how I could show my objections when he put this boat into the water. He steered it over the area he was about to fish. The boat was very quiet, much quieter than the standard remote controlled boat. It was at that point I realised he must be baiting the fishing area using this device.
I've never come across this technique before and was intrigued. I walked around to investigate and I was impressed. It was a bait boat. You stock 2 channels in the top with bait. When you've taken the boat to the area you intend to fish, you simply open 2 flaps on the boat which releases the bait into the water.
Simple and marvellous idea. I am thinking of adding this to my collection of carp tackle.
