![]() ![]() ![]() Half, and more than half, of the supposed ‘difficulty’ of the Money Market has arisen out of the controversies as to ‘Peel’s Act,’ and the abstract discussions on the theory on which that act is based, or supposed to be based. In one respect, however, I admit that I am about to take perhaps an unfair advantage. ![]() But I maintain that the Money Market is as concrete and real as anything else that it can be described in as plain words that it is the writer’s fault if what he says is not clear. A notion prevails that the Money Market is something so impalpable that it can only be spoken of in very abstract words, and that therefore books on it must always be exceedingly difficult. ![]() I venture to call this Essay ‘Lombard Street,’ and not the ‘Money Market,’ or any such phrase, because I wish to deal, and to show that I mean to deal, with concrete realities. ![]() ![]() ![]() Like other women’s hotels built in the early part of the 20th century, the Barbizon was open only to female guests (and primarily white, middle- to upper-class single women under the age of 30, at that). ![]() The book traces the decades-long history of New York City’s famous Barbizon Hotel for Women, which opened in 1928 and closed in 2005 (the building today exists as high-end condominiums).

It alternates between the first person narratives of the enormous woman and her son, jordan. ![]() the novel is set in an alternate history and has a lot of elements of magical realism, and is written somewhat in a stream of consciousness style. On the surface of it, the novel is about an enormous (and i do mean enormous, her skirt is big enough to be a ship’s sail) and grotesque woman and her son living in 17th century england. This review will contain spoilers – i usually don’t include spoilers, but i feel with this book its very hard to review it without addressing what happens in the latter half of the book. ![]() |
