The vision of Charley on the driver’s box, sweaty, dirty, whipping the six-team, powerful and brave as any man. She imagined it excited him to feel Charley beneath him or on top. As it excited her . . . the freedom to be a man and a woman in the same body – at the same time. A glass for the people of New-England : in which they may see themselves and spirits, and if not too late, repent and turn away from their abominable ways and cursed contrivances that so the Lord God may turn away his wrath, which he will bring upon them (if they repent not) for their blasphemies against himself, and for all the murders and cruelties done to his tender people, ever since they usurped authority to banish, hang, whip, and cut off ears, and spoil the goods of dissenters from them in religious matters, while themselves disown infallibility in those things [LeatherBound] In 1940 he enlisted in the Army, and was sent for training with the Royal Artillery in Llandrindod Wells in mid-Wales, where he trained alongside his friend Eric Ambler. Both were commissioned as second lieutenants in 1941. Canning worked in anti-aircraft batteries in the south of England until early 1943, when he was sent to North Africa and took part in the Allied invasion of Sicily and the Italian campaigns. At the end of the war he was assigned to an Anglo-American unit doing experimental work with radar range-finding. It was top secret work but nothing to do with espionage, though Canning never discouraged the assumption of publishers and reviewers that his espionage stories were partly based on experience. He was discharged in 1946 with the rank of major. Jayne: That’s a very good way to sum up one of the central problems with the book. And it’s a shame, too, because so much of Charley’s biography can be imagined, the possibilities were quite broad.

Martin Caidin was a prolific and controversial writer. Most of his work centered around the adventures of pilots and astronauts. A number of his books were notable for their reasonable, realistic predictions of then-futuristic technology. The Whip is simply amazing. I expect author Karen Kondazian to turn this into a screenplay. Bravo to her and to strong women who survive against all odds in a man’s world! Of course, like with any historical fiction you have to remember that not all conversations are accurate and that most times the author doesn't have first hand knowledge of the person's true motivations. Caidin's body of work was prolific and varied, ranging from additional speculative/SF novels such as Marooned, which was made into an acclaimed film and considered a harbinger of the Apollo 13 accident, to a novel based upon the character Indiana Jones. He also wrote many non-fiction books about science, aviation and warfare. Kondazian writes with incredible sympathy for all of her characters, even the villains, which left me wanting to do some research of my own about Charley Parkhurst and gain a better understanding of her incredible story.The ‘whip being removed’ means that the MP ceases to represent their party and sits as an independent MP. Twenty-one Conservative MPs had the whip removed in 2019 after voting against the government to allow MPs to take control of the Commons timetable to pass the Benn Act, which was designed to remove the possibility of a no-deal Brexit. As of March 2022, there are eight MPs sitting as Independents, having had the whip removed. These include former leader of the Labour party Jeremy Corbyn, who was suspended from the Labour Party after refusing to accept all of the Equality and Human Rights Commission’s findings on antisemitism in the party. But that dualism can also be extremely difficult, as when Anna, the woman who lives with Charley, wants to make their relationship sexual and Charley can neither satisfy Anna’s desires nor tell her the truth. Charlotte/Charley is a charismatic and complex person. I think the author has done a wonderful work with the main character. When Charlotte is living like Charley, she has a lot of turmoil with herself and she misses being a woman. Her identity problems also lead her to act like a man – she drinks, talks and walks like a man, so while reading you sometimes tend to forget that he is really a she. At the same time inwardly she is still a woman a desires to be a woman. It’s out of necessity that

The Whip This was a mostly fictional story about a real person, Charlotte “Charley” Parkhurst, a woman living out her adult life as a male stagecoach driver, then logger, in the late 1800s. Very little is known about her since she took her secrets to the grave. Karen Kondazian managed a well written and entertaining story woven around what few facts are known, imagining how this might have come to be, so it’s main value is entertainment, much like many of the Hollywood ‘based on’ movies. Still, what a fascinating story. It would make a great movie. For a first time author whose lifetime career has been as an actress, it was a satisfying read. A favorite passage:The Whip introduced you to Charlotte who grew up in the orphanage in Massachusetts. Charlotte’s mom abandoned her and she has had a complicated and hard life from very early age. She was abused, beaten and to break her spirit she was sent to the barn. When 16 she moves from orphanage, meets a mysterious man and find love which is unfortunately short. Her husband is lynched and her baby killed.

The Whip” explores all the deep inner turmoil that Charley Parkhurst must have felt being a woman of her time and making a living for herself as a free man. But the change of venue is nearly incidental to the epic and emotional power of the book. I was so moved by the conclusion that I wept. After moving to the west coast, she tries to make a living there and the only way for her is to do it as a man. She is disguising herself as a man and gets a job as stagecoach driver. She is excellent at her work and is challenged more than once as the story develops. As an author, Kondazian is a multi-award winning novelist. Her debut novel, “The Whip,” won the USA News Book Award (Best Historical Fiction), Readers Favorite Award (Best Western Fiction), among other awards. The book was also featured on the cover of Publishers Weekly and is a screenplay.Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Thus.

This is an authentic old west tale, complete with a lynching, stagecoach chases, gun fights, and more. It’s the story of a woman who is so successful at being a man, not only is she allowed to vote (oh, the horror – LOL!), but she successfully takes her secret to the grave – or so close that it doesn’t really matter. There are, admittedly, some liberties taken with her story, but more to flesh out the grey areas than to significantly alter or misrepresent anything about her. That’s an important distinction to make, because she is most definitely not your typical heroine. In fact, at times, she is downright nasty.
