Read the first two chapters. I understand this was written in a different time, but having the family cat get caught in a game trap (four times) was disturbing. Then to have puppies living in a nailed shut crate for transport on a train for days or w ...more

There Are Rivers in the Sky by Elif Shafak
" I feel your pain, I almost gave up too. "
Rose is on page 212 of 485 of Music & Silence: Very enjoyable read. There are multiple character threads (12) but it’s not confusing or disruptive to the flow of the story. Tremain doesn't try to impress you with overly arcane word choices, yet uses interesting pairings of adjectives to keep the writing fresh. The primary characters are Peter Claire and Emilia. Christian, King of Denmark and his consort Kirsten are the main secondary characters.

Disappointed. The author has a wonderful imagination and her writing is very fluid. But, the three narratives—Arthur, Narin & Zaleekah—just didn’t stitch together well. Arthur was the only true historical character and his story was worth telling as ...more
