Captivating introduction to the Burnt Sparrow trilogy. A biting exploration of esoteric folk ritual, family loyalty, and suppressed sexuality is deftly handled with languid, exquisite prose, from a writer clearly comfortable with their craft.

" A Quiet Apocalypse by Dave JefferyMy rating: 3 of 5 starsMy first book from this author, really it's a 3½. Very compelling read and novel idea, but one, like 1984, which leaves you with no hope. Some real shocks in this book, and it left me qu..." Read more of this blog post »

2025 Reading Chal...: Helen's Corner 59 190 Jun 13, 2012 04:14AM  
Steven Moffat
“Hello, old friend. And here we are. You and me, on the last page. By the time you read these words, Rory and I will be long gone. So know that we lived well and were very happy. And above all else, know that we will love you always. Sometimes I do worry about you though. I think once we're gone you won't be coming back here for awhile. And you might be alone. Which you should never be. Don't be alone, Doctor. And do one more thing for me. There's a little girl waiting in a garden. She's going to wait a long while, so she's going to need a lot of hope. Go to her. Tell her a story. Tell her that if she's patient, the days are coming that she'll never forget. Tell her she'll go to see and fight pirates. She'll fall in love with a man who'll wait two thousand years to keep her safe. Tell her she'll give hope to the greatest painter who ever lived. And save a whale in outer space. Tell her, this is the story of Amelia Pond. And this is how it ends.”
Steven Moffat
