Lazy Day - Just Reading!
I have just finished reading A Whispered Name by William Brodrick - it is a fantastic book.
It is the story of a monk, Father Anselm who meets a woman and an old man in a cemetery and is intrigued by the bits and pieces of the story they tell. This leads him to investigate the life of an Irish soldier charged with desertion during World War I. It is part detective story, as Anselm researches the history of the main characters, and part war story as we are taken back to the battlefields of WWI. But it is so much more than that and reaches into the minds of the men fighting and facing almost certain death during the appalling daily carnage in Flanders. The story unfolds slowly and I couldn't wait to find out what happened. Terrific storytelling!
I woke up with a terrible cold and a sore throat this morning, so spent a few hours lounging on the couch surrounded by tissues - finishing off this book - it really is good.
Going to spend some more time catching up with magazines which I haven't got round to reading yet. What a lazy day!
When I feel better ... well, I've got a new project! Can you tell what it is?
Love, Liz
