"I found this book referenced in the footnotes to another, more important book I'm reading and decided to give it a spin. And. Well.

This review is going to be unsparing, so I'm going to begin by saying what I appreciated about it. First of all, Reju d" Read more of this review »

I watched the miniseries and though it wasn't the highest quality production I've ever seen, I enjoyed it enough to listen to the novel. It was odd to see what the producers changed, particularly in their casting choices: the storyline is the same, b ...more

Thomas B. Costain
“History pays no heed to the unspectacular citizen who worked hard all day and walked at night to a humble home with dust on his tunic and his flat cap. But in the end the builders have had the better of it. The miracles they accomplished in stone are still standing and still beautiful, even with the disintegration of so many centuries on them, but the battlefields where great warriors died are so encroached upon by modern villas and so befouled by the rotting remains of motorcars and the staves of oil barrels that they do not always repay a visit.”
Thomas B. Costain

Agatha Christie
“I was thinking, that when my time comes, I should be sorry if the only plea I had to offer was that of justice. Because it might mean that only justice would be meted out to me.”
Agatha Christie, Murder at the Vicarage

Rosemary Sutcliff
“That is our Shield Ring, our last stronghold; not the barrier fells and the totter-moss between, but something in the hearts of men.”
Rosemary Sutcliff, The Shield Ring

C.S. Lewis
“I ended my first book with the words 'no answer.' I know now, Lord, why you utter no answer. You are yourself the answer. Before your face questions die away. What other answer would suffice? Only words, words; to be led out to battle against other words.”
C. S. Lewis, Till We Have Faces

Harper Lee
“Miss Jean Louise, stand up. Your father's passin'.”
Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird

Hannah Abigail, you were the one who convinced me to take the effort and time to read The Spanish Brothers with your strong urging, yet it's not on your bookshelf!

(By the way, THANK YOU! :D)
