Poesia. Dorothy Dunnett dipinge arazzi con le sue parole. Dei quattro, questo libro raggiunge vette di umanità e bellezza raramente toccate da altri autori.

Datemi un lungo viaggio in mare verso luoghi esotici e io sono contento come una Pasqua. Sempre detto che i romanzi storici d'avventura sono come dei fantasy senza la magia.

Mmmmmay. I'm not sure I can get through this. I wanted to. *gestures to beautiful pirate-y looking book* but the writing is so dense, I really feel like I don't know who these people are, why I care, and what's even happening, and the writing is really dense. Did I say that already? It is. I'm 5 pages in and I'm struggling.

Well, I got this on a whim from a library sale. (That cover, and it's huge and has deckled edges, plus this edition was published in 1992, the year I was born) I didn't realize until coming here to Goodreads that it's book 4 in a series. So. Guess we'll see if I can read it by itself or not. If not, it'll go in my Pango Books shop to find a new home with someone else.
