Losing Nelson is a novel of obsession, the story of Charles Cleasby, a man unable to see himself separately from the hero--Lord Horatio Nelson--he mistakenly idolizes. He is, in fact, a Nelson biographer run amok. He is convinced that Nelson, Britain's greatest admiral, who lost his own life defeating Napoleon in the Battle of Trafalgar, is the perfect hero. However, in his research he has come upon an incident of horrifying brutality in Nelson's military career that simply stumps all attempts at glorification. "Books about the sea and those who sail it are much in vogue. This seems to have been set off by the surprising and much deserved popularity of Sebastian Junger's The Perfect Storm, not to mention the Aubrey/Maturin novels of Patrick O'Brian. . . . Losing Nelson is] the best book of the lot."--Jonathan Yardley, Washington Post Book World (1999 Critic's Choice). A Publishers Weekly Best Book of 1999; A New York Times Notable Book of 1999.

Looks like the image
Color: 01 - Beige, Size: King (108" X 90")
Super happy with the purchase. I went with king size bed for my boyfriend and I, because in the past when we have bought queen size, it seems to just fit the top of my bed and not go over. Also my boyfriend like to hog the blankets so wanted the change to at least still have enough for me. This blanket is perfect for us, helps to keep us warm during the recent cold weather and feels so great against our skin. It feels luxurious, isnt super thin and quality seems great.
As soon as we got it I washed it on the sensitive cycle with cold water. Then put it in for air dry in the dryer. It fluffed up by a lot, that I had to run it a couple more cycles and stopping it in between to pull it back out and rearrange it to make sure it was drying, since it would roll up. Near the end when it was almost dry. Not a single speck of lint. Nothing shed off this blanket while it dried, which was such a surprise for me. Hoping to invest in a few more in the future. Very happy with the purchase. It checks the marks for functionality, sleep quality and durability that I have seen for far. It would make a great gift and any moment I could suggest this blanket to a friend I would.
I bought two of these for my twins as well to go over another cheaper warm blanket they already had, due to severe winter watch in my area. I wanted to make sure they had all the warmth they needed if power ever went out, thankfully it never did. They were kicking off their other blankets and choosing this one in their sleep over their other one.

Nice throw.
Color: 01 - Beige, Size: Throw (50" X 60")
Really nice and pretty too. Very soft and warm. The weight of the throw is light but still it's warm. Turning out to be my favorite.
