Hi, this my book so I must be objective I guess. I'm pleased with the outcome, but cannot find a publisher (who can?) so have self published on Amazon at a very reasonable price! I hope some of you will read it. It will be out in paperback soon.

Cinfhen Congrats 🍾 the synopsis sounds intriguing! You‘ve peaked my interest 3y

The Noise of Time | Julian Barnes

This novel, by Julian Barnes, is about the life of Shostakovich (Russian composer) during Stalin's reign in Russia. It is Brilliant! I loved the way it was written, in short compact episodes, which made not much sense at first but if you persevere it all comes together quite quickly. Highly recommended for historical fiction buffs. I'm even going to try to write something in this style and format. Maybe a short story.

Just loved this retelling of Achilles and Priam‘s truce. David Malouf can be difficult (try teaching Fly Away Peter to rowdy adolescents!) but this book is an easy read and yet so so eloquent. The characters and the times just live on and on in your mind. And now I have discovered Madeline Miller! Historically happy!😁

Cinfhen Any post that mentions Madeline Miller gets my full attention!!! Most try this retelling ~ thanks for sharing 5y

Can‘t believe how good the TV series was. Almost as good as the book.
