Members Reviews:

Outstanding

A vivid and immersive read. The story and the language are a pleasure, at times chilling and disturbing but a pleasure to read throughout.

The walrus skull was not the only problem with this book.

This book was poorly edited. Rebecca Hunt is a talented writer, and Everland could have been a good read if an editor had watched out for factual errors, confusing points of view throughout, and other distracting issues. Namely, the frequent use of the fbomb, which I don't think British explorers would have used quite so liberally, if at all. Especially in this manner -

â"He was there a moment ago," Millet-Bass replied, sick beyond endurance of f***ing Dinners.'

Do editors just not edit anymore? This is inexcusable. And if a person actually edited this book, here's some advice: deny it.

good read

I bought this book for my husband and he enjoyed it. He said he will read it again after a while.

Perhaps it's not fair to write something after only having ...

Perhaps it's not fair to write something after only having read the pages posted by Amazon, but I wonder if the author has done her homework about Antarctica. In the first page of Chapter 3, we learn that a walrus skull wearing a Yankees baseball cap is nailed to a post at the end of a runway at the Antarctic base Aegeus. There are no walruses in Antarctic. Walrus are circumpolar in the Northern Hemisphere. Perhaps later we will learn in a twist of the plot why someone went to the bother of bringing a walrus skull from the Arctic to the Antarctic, but the author's credibility suffers in the meantime.

Members Reviews:

Too, too much

I quite enjoyed the first book in this series but this one left me irritated before I was a quarter of the way into it. There were far too many twists and turns so that it felt like several books compressed into one unbelievable narrative. The characters lacked depth and historically the novel is deeply flawed. I'm afraid this just was not to my taste.

Beautifully touching and heart warming story

A gripping story, beautifully narrated and just heartwarming and tear bringing account of human heartache and also kindness when least expected on a little girls journey and the two wild horses through the most unusual adventures to find the end of the war and safety. Beautiful.

FRESQUE MUSICALE.

Après l'assassinat sauvage en mai 1242 des Inquisiteurs Guillaume Arnaud et Etienne de Saint-Thibéry par la résistance cathare, le château de Montségur est assiégé par les croisés. En février 1244, trois hommes s'évadent de la forteresse mais sont peu à peu repris. Livrés à l'Inquisiteur Blaise Sarius, chargé de châtier les auteurs du massacre, ils vont devoir subir la question. Mais, parmi eux, c'est un personnage baroque qui retient l'attention du zélé prélat : un obscur écuyer du nom de Valderac de Landogne, un homme naïf et prolixe, capable donc de livrer incidemment les plus grands secrets.

Title: The Widow and her Hero

Author: Thomas Keneally

Narrator: Beverley Dunn, David Tredinnick

Format: Unabridged

Length: 9 hrs and 19 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-27-14

Publisher: Hodder & Stoughton

Genres: Fiction, Historical

Publisher's Summary:

In 1943, when Grace and Leo Waterhouse married in Australia, they were part of a young generation ready to sacrifice themselves to win the war, while being confident they would survive.

Sixty years on, as Grace recounts what happened to her doomed hero, she can say what she suspected then: that for many men, bravery is its own end. The tale she tells is one of great love, lost innocence, a charismatic but unstable Irish commander, dashing undercover missions against the Japanese in Singapore, and - in her eyes - reckless, foolhardy exploits. As fresh details continue to emerge, Grace is forced to keep revising her picture of what happened to Leo and his fellow commandoes - until she learns about the final piece in the jigsaw, and an ultimate betrayal.

As absorbing as it is thought-provoking, this timely novel poses unsettling questions about what drives men to battle and heroic deeds, and movingly conveys the life-long effect on those who survive them.

Critic Reviews:

"Touching and gripping until the very last page" (John Harding, Daily Mail)

Publisher's Summary:

When war photographer Jo returns from her latest assignment in Afghanistan and moves into the Brighton flat she's just inherited, she hopes to restore equilibrium to her chaotic life. But images and events of her recent past and the reading of her great-grandmother Elizabeth's diary haunt her night and day, forcing Jo to come to terms with demons she thought she could leave behind.

Critic Reviews:

"Gripping reality of war, as well as race, guilt, love and loss" (The Times)

"Her writing has a terse and fierce precision that tightens into tragic fury" (Independent)

Members Reviews:

HIGHLY recommend to all

This novel was AMAZING!!

War photographer Jo not only tells but shows how repercussions can have a lasting effect, not only on ourselves but also for others.

Catherine Hall's writing is so elegant that the reader can feel the emotional toll a war places on a person. This novel is filled with loss and love and Jo tries to move past all of the guilt she feels from the decisions she has made over the years.

I so enjoyed how Jo would tell her story in one chapter and then share the reading of her great-grandmother Elizabeth's diary in the next chapter!!

Both women will leave the reader with a sweet, dark experience!

I truly look forward to reading more novels from Ms. Hall.

Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers:

Der einzige Großstaat, mit welchem das römische Reich grenzte, war das Reich von Iran, ruhend auf derjenigen Nationalität, die im Altertum wie heutzutage am bekanntesten ist unter dem Namen der Perser, staatlich zusammengefasst durch das altpersische Königsgeschlecht der Achämeniden und seinen ersten Großkönig Kyros, religiös geeinigt durch den Glauben des Ahura Mazda und des Mithra. Keines der alten Kulturvölker hat das Problem der nationalen Einigung gleich früh und gleich vollständig gelöst.

Theodor Mommsen erhielt als erster Deutscher 1902 den Nobelpreis für Literatur.
