A Favourite of the Gods is the story of two generations of a single family, united by a strong matrilineal bond but divided by the customs of their differing nationalities. Anna Howland, the matriarch and American heiress, born in the 1870s to a prominent, liberal New England family marries an Italian prince and makes her home in Rome; her daughter Constanza, the favorite of the title, inherits her mother’s beauty, intelligence, and wealth, along with her father’s Catholicism, which she soon rejects.

When disaster strikes, Anna and the prince fall back on the standards of behavior of their disparate cultures; Constanza, with her European upbringing, is free to plot her own course, and she does so with daring, making an unconventional life for herself in England and on the continent during and after the First World War.

Her own daughter Flavia is the heroine of A Compass Error, which begins where the first novel concludes. Flavia too is a brilliant young woman, though both more brash and more faltering than her mother, studying for her entrance exam to Oxford when she becomes involved with a mysterious woman whose arrival at a sensitive moment in Flavia’s adolescence will alter both her and her mother’s lives forever

The Octopus is very durable!
Color: Angry Octopus
My Boston Terrier went through 3 other toys of this style and he isn't much of a chewer, so I decided to try the Octopus. It has held up great! Very well made and durable. He gets hours of fun out of it. The mimic feature gets slow when it starts needing a charge, so I keep an extra ball charged from one of the other styles that he chewed through. Happy puppy!

Don't let dog drop it!
Color: Angry Octopus
Was great for a minute. My dog dropped it from mouth onto linoleum floor and ... now it won't do anything but beep once. So, waste of money.
