Neretko čujem kako neko kaže kako je "Vuk loš političar, ali dobar pisac", nije brate, užasan je pisac.

Što ne uradiše Turci za pet vekova, za pola veka temeljno odradiše Albanci.
Gorak ukus u ustima.

Nastavak romana "Nož" čemu sam se iznenadila i obradovala.
U početku, radnja se dobro odvija kroz priču koja jeste mučna, ali je upravo to - priča. Onda od druge polovine kreće filozofski aspekt i kompletna priča se gubi. Više ne znam da li glavni lik halucinira ili mu se opisi iz knjige stvarno dešavaju. Jasno mi je šta roman predstavlja, ali moram priznati da me je konzul tj. Ljuba baš smorio.

I tried to post something for a completely different book & somehow this showed up on my feed!

This book has a sweet quality which pulls at your heart. It is a story of grumpiness and friendship. Lady Joanna Mabry is a bluestocking who has a flaw…she steals books from peer homes but does return them. James Huntington, Duke of Northwich views on women’s educations irritates her. So next time she is at his house, she steals a book on “feminine education” not knowing it has a fake cover. It is really The Illustrated Pleasures of Seduction. Trouble arises when James realized someone sold this book from his home and suspects Joanna. Now it is a cat and mouse game...for him to see if she took it and her how to return it. They develop a friendship of sorts. The supporting characters were enjoyable. This story about trust and taking the leap to be vulnerable to someone. Amidst of this, family duties, expectations, and responsibilities come into play. This book was good, and I enjoy it. It did not disappoint. I would recommend this book to put a smile on your face.

**I received this book from NetGalley for an honest review.

This was certainly as interesting read as an intelligent woman LadyJoanna Mabry, meets her match when she steals a book from the library of James Huntingon, the Duke of Northwick. Joanna is in her fourth Season, but has never had a suitor basically because is considred to be a bluestocking. James in in London for the first time in many years. He is there with his aunt and her daughter, Elsbeth, for her first season. Neither Joanna or James realize their meeting will change the course of both their lives. This story shares how the lose of Joanna's sister, Belinda, and the loss for James of his mother and older sister and evidently his father too effect them both. This story has some interesting discussion between Joanna and James about the differences and similiaries between men and women and what their places are. Beware there are certainly some "steamy" parts in this book and a HEA. I do wish there had been an extended epilogue..

I actually cried a little at how horrible Fia is treated by her cousin for so many years in silence. The right person comes along at the right time to give her the strength to do something about it and leave his household. Henry is right there to tell her how strong and beautiful that she is every time that she needs to hear it. I enjoyed reading Music For the Duke, so much that I had a hard time putting it down.
