Until then, the family had been known for its philanthropy in art, academia, and medicine. But he was stubborn and ambitious, and I believed in him, and he knew I did, and I knew how much that mattered.įor the Sackler family, October, 2017, was stressful. He had spent the first couple of years of life, before I adopted him, in a Russian hospital, and the effects of developmental and emotional deprivation he had suffered still haunted him.

Read ExcerptĬhapter 1/ Thick Description: Toward an Interpretive Theory of Culture This definitive edition, with a foreword by Robert Darnton, remains an essential book for anthropologists, historians, and anyone else seeking to better understand human cultures.

When she, Florian and Gerard end up on an island in the middle of the ocean those qualities will become essential to survival. The third is Tremaine’s ability to remain fairly clear-/ and level-headed in a crisis. Actually, there are three qualities I really appreciate. The other is her ability to integrate others in her life as a matter of course. One is her ability to make difficult decisions quickly without needing to question her choices. She has two qualities that I really like. Tremaine Valiarde is a woman with an unusual life up to now and it is about to enter the realm of the unexpected.
