This Orcadian verse SFF novel with accompanying standard southern English version tells the story of a student returning to a space station from her art studies who forms a relationship with a visitor to the station.

While it was fun matching up the two versions and listening to the audiobook on Everand, there seemed to be a lot missing from the actual story which suddenly just stopped in the middle of the action. A disappointment.

It seems like I caught the flu at the end of my holiday. I am home now, pretty sick. Not even being able to read. 🙈
This is the house Robert Burns was born in Alloway.

Deblovestoread The flu this year is no joke. Wishing you a speedy recovery. ❤️‍🩹 4mo

I‘ve got a copy of Robert Burns that was published in 1943! Just a plain green cloth bound hardcover with a matching ribbon bookmark. I got it from a library overflow sale. 💚

#SundayFunday Hope you are all having a great week, and don‘t forget to tag me!

Teresereading I have a book of English poetry given to my great great grandmother by her fiancée in late 1800s. Will have to check how old it is. 1y

I enjoyed this, but may have to reread it in English to see what my mind makes of the ending. (Read as printed with Orkney dialect and English on same page.)

Poetry & science fiction at the same time.
