Hi! This is Rachel Malay, director at the Port Library in Beloit. For the next few weeks I’ll be focusing on titles that, while not newly published, are newly available at the Port Library.
Picture a hard working young man, climbing his way through a successful political fund raising company. His off and on again girlfriend is definitely on as his fiancé. They’ll be married in the spring at beautiful Sea Ranch, California. All the rooms are reserved and the guest list is finalized with friends coming overseas. Then, the wedding is called off. The bride to be can’t do it. What’s a guy to do? Well, for Franz Wisner, the answer is to take the non-refundable honeymoon. With his brother. Wisner’s memoir, Honeymoon with My Brother published in 2005, recounts the process Wisner went through after his called-off wedding, ultimately deciding to reconnect with the brother he’d barely spoken to in 10 years. After the brothers’ vacation the two returned home, but Franz’s job suddenly wasn’t so secure. There was a newfound wanderlust so Franz and his brother decided to put their lives on hold in the United States and travel Europe, Scandinavia, Africa and more. After two years the two returned home and Wisner began his memoir. Equal parts funny and touching, this book will certainly keep you glued to the pages from country to country.
You can get the book reviewed here and more great titles to watch, read, listen to, or play with at the Port Library at 1718 N. Hersey in Beloit, on the North Campus. Just follow Hersey Avenue north, and at the end of the North Campus drive look east to see the library. This is director Rachel Malay, saying “Thanks for checking us out!”
