Review BELLMAN AND BLACK by Diane Setterfield
This is the magical story of tragedy and the consequences of unthinking human cruelty. When the boy William Bellman recklessly kills a rook with his catapult
he barely remembers the incident. But the
rooks never forget. - I loved the allegory
of the rooks in this eerie, timeless tale.
One reckless act, one moment in time if you
will, creates repercussions forever in the
life of William Bellman. The foolish killing of a rook by the boy creates an
unpaid debt among the bird's brethren that is only repaid by the grown man's allegiance to the very essence of death
itself. - BELLMAN & BLACK is a strange,
haunting tale that will leave you wondering.... I give it three stars.
