The Silence of the Girls: A Novel | Pat Barker

pick

I did not think it was as beautifully/lyrically written as Miller's Song of Achilles, but it did deserve the Booker Award. Is it okay to contradict myself? It is written from the perspective of Trojan women who, as spoils, were enslaved to and raped by the men who killed their families. Very evocative and very well needed. I wish I had noted who included this book in last week's #SundayFunDay. It was an outstanding read, and I thank you.

kspenmoll I enjoyed this so much! 2d

A Court of Mist and Fury | Sarah J. Maas

#fanart #SundayFunday @BookmarkTavern I love Hogwarts, but the way Maas describes the quiet beauty of Rhysand's Moonstone Palace in Velaris....

CALGON, TAKE ME AWAY....

I Capture the Castle (Revised) | Dodie Smith

Not truly fictional, though it has an amazing story. I just saw it for the first time today in Alcoa, Tennessee and it is fascinating! Building began in 1936 to withstand the Armegeddon that William Nicholson believed was coming. In disrepair for years, it is currently being rennovated by Dean & Karen Fontaine who host events and welcome tours on weekends. Now on the National Registry of Historic Places. #SundayFunday @BookmarkTavern

BookmarkTavern How lovely! Seeing old buildings restored to new purpose is always wonderful! Thanks for sharing! 6d

The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe | C.S. Lewis

Visited a couple castles this week, so here‘s mine!

“The castle of Cair Paravel on its little hill towered up above them; before them were the sands, with rocks and little pools of salt water, and seaweed, and the smell of the sea and long miles of bluish-green waves breaking for ever and ever on the beach. And oh, the cry of the seagulls! Have you heard it? Can you remember?”

#SundayFunday Have a great day and remember to tag me!
