I just finished on Monday last. " Sing Unburied Sing, I hated it, but end up loving it. It amazes me that you can use so many descriptions to describe such little things. It took me 1 week to complete the first chapter, and I read all the time, My local library is reading it for the month in our book club, I was the only one in club that actually read it. The book was a challenge, you are a talented young lady. Sincerely, Sharon Stephens
This sounds like the approach of 19th century French author Gustave Flaubert. In his quest for exactly the right word (le mot juste), not only the meaning had to fit, but the sound as well. This could get extremely difficult.
Just finished Let Us Descend. Just a superb book, rhythms and musicality, huge scope, following matrilineal lines. Stunning. Thank you for persevering, and please keep writing. Your gift is needed.
