Babette REVIEW! #1502

Name of the book – Babette: The Many Lives, Two Deaths and Double Kidnapping of Dr. Ellsworth

Name of the author – Ross Eliot

Enter the captivating world of “Babette: The Many Lives, Two Deaths and Double Kidnapping of Dr. Ellsworth,” where author Ross Eliot shares a riveting tale of his formative years in Portland, Oregon. In this remarkable narrative, Eliot recounts his serendipitous encounter with an enigmatic history professor, Dr. Ellsworth, and the extraordinary arrangement that ensued. From quarters in the pantry of her stately home to becoming her trusted companion and confidant, Eliot’s journey with the flamboyant septuagenarian is a whirlwind of adventure, intrigue, and unexpected twists. 

With tales of mystery and crime interwoven with religious, cultural, and historical events, “Babette” provides an engrossing look into a bygone period and the remarkable friendship between two unexpected friends. Learning about this woman’s many facets and the experiences and events she had been a part of was interesting. Many questions concerning Babette’s past and personal life are still unanswered by the time the novel closes. Many things remain unsolved, but that’s just the nature of life, in my opinion.

I believe this book will be enjoyable to readers of both fiction and non-fiction. I like how the author crafted her narrative and who she let into her house, a place of precious refuge. Babette, the novel and the person struck me as marvellously weird and charming. One of those novels you want to take your time reading so the plot may develop to its fullest. It’s like having to say goodbye to a dear, old friend; it’s a bittersweet loss.
