The Prodigal Son
The Prodigal Son | Sulari Gentill
2 posts | 1 read | 3 to read
After publishing seven books in the award-winning Rowland Sinclair Mysteries, Sulari Gentill wanted to let her readers know how much she appreciates their support. And so, believing that a story is the most valuable thing a writer has to give, Sulari wrote The Prodigal Son: a gift to those readers who have allowed, or might someday allow, Rowland Sinclair and his disreputable entourage into their imaginations.

The Prodigal Son | Sulari Gentill

Pickpick

I do like spending time with Rowly Sinclair, and his community of artist-friends in 1920s Sydney. This is a prequel novella to the series- we learn how they became friends. There‘s a crime-mystery element, but you‘re hardly aware of it until after the event. The place/politics of the time are so well done, & I‘ve loved exploring Sydney virtually. Oh, I have a voucher - maybe I‘ll buy book 2 in print. (Main gripe with this one - not enough of it!)

Moray_Reads I love this cover style 3y

I‘ve been saying I need to read something lighter for months. Turns out last night was the time to actually do something about it! It‘s a novella prequel to the Rowly Sinclair series, and it‘s just delightful.

It‘s a googley book though - I NEED to know what the Queen Victoria Building looks like, and whether the steamer tragedy reported at the start actually happened (it did.) So it may take me a little while!

squirrelbrain I *love* googley books - enjoy! 3y
LeahBergen Oh, googley books are the best. 😊 3y
Caroline2 A googley book! 😆 great expression!! 👍 3y

Cinfhen I love that!! Another NEW genre #GoogleyBook or what I affectionately call #LiveAndLearn 3y
batsy Agree #googleybook is the perfect term and those are the best books! 3y
CarolynM Hope you found some good pictures of the QVB as it's known these days as an upmarket shopping arcade. As an aside, my favourite Australian bookshop, Abbey's, is in an undistinguished modern building across the road from it. 3y
TrishB I love that term 😁 and books that make you do that. 3y
Lizpixie LOVE the QVB! It‘s a gorgeous building with an amazing clock. @CarolynM I‘m a huge Abbeys fan too! Especially the 2nd floor🪐🧙🏻‍♀️ 3y
rockpools @Lizpixie @CarolynM I‘ve had a lovely time exploring Sydney! I saw the clock, and the stained glass - looks amazing! Have also had a nose around Abbey‘s (what‘s on the 2nd floor, tho?) and the Town Hall. All set for a visit now - maybe 2030! 3y
rockpools @squirrelbrain It would have helped a lot if my Internet hadn‘t packed in, mid-google! 3y
rockpools @LeahBergen Aren‘t they just? Especially now, cos how else are we going to go off on adventures? 3y
rockpools @Caroline2 😁 Thanks! I was kind of hoping after I‘d typed it that it didn‘t mean anything untoward!! 3y
rockpools @Cinfhen Can‘t move for new genres at the moment! Distinct lack of birds and bones in this one tho 😁 3y
rockpools @batsy I do enjoy falling down the odd rabbit hole occasionally 😆 3y
rockpools @TrishB Yep, mangling the English language since 197?! But it is fun to explore by book! 3y
Lizpixie @rockpools the 2nd floor of Abbeys is all scifi/fantasy🙌 3y
