Summer Break

 I will be taking a summer break. The next post will come on August 28th, 2019 with review of Call Upon the Water by Stella Tillyard – release date Sept 17th, 2019.

Set during the fall and rise of King Charles II of England, this story does not bring court intrigues, what it offers instead is an intense depiction of lives of common people and those with education who used their knowledge to make a mark in history by draining and developing wetlands for human use. And a deeply moving portrayal of a man exploring the power of nature and the power of love.
