Carol, et al,
I'm enamored of a relatively new mystery series --- "novels of historical
suspense" --- by Owen Parry:
Faded Coat of Blue
Shadows of Glory
Call Each River Jordan
The protagonist is a Welch immigrant, and Afghan veteran, who becomes a
Union agent (detective NOT a spy) in the U.S. Civil War. Not as
gut-wrenching as All the Pretty Horses, but beautifully written with
delightful flashes of Twain-like wit ... and compelling observations on the
nature of war. Intriguing and timely comments and comparisons involving the
"fierce Pushtoons"
Recently read a Sherlock Holmes pastiche and was reminded that Watson also
was an Afghan veteran.
... and I'm seriously considering re-reading The Hobbit and the Trilogy ...
right after I finish Harry Potter books three and four. They are great fun!
Just started "The Professor and the Madman," --- an account of the compiling
of the Oxford English Dictionary. It got rave reviews, but I'm too few pages
into it to offer a personal opinion. Well written it is. That's immediately
apparent.
keepin' it light
love
