Sometimes a narrator's voice is hard to adjust to at first, but I've often had that experience and then ended up thinking they were just perfect!JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637440206562155541.post-43097302154582542782012-05-06T15:54:27.784+01:002012-05-06T15:54:27.784+01:00That sounds like a great book Mystica.

This sounds somewhat similar.

After reading your review, I'm going to put it on my 'to read' list. Have you read Grenville's The Idea of Perfection? It's also fabulous and again the descriptions of the setting and the quirks of the people are fantastic!Laura Besleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08240502344590881772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637440206562155541.post-58450489396942723822012-05-06T01:37:54.752+01:002012-05-06T01:37:54.752+01:00I love original historical fiction - it sounds lik...I love original historical fiction - it sounds like this one fits the bill.<br /><br />The book I'm reading right now (The Watery Part of the World) is a sort of speculative history. Apparently, Aaron Burr's daughter really was lost at sea. This novel imagines what might have happened to her.Lindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00333927782181943347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637440206562155541.post-55409578055161110552012-05-06T00:49:06.057+01:002012-05-06T00:49:06.057+01:00Hmm sounds like another good one.
