I was looking up <i>Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit</i> for someone the other day, and got three results for title, none of them the right book. Then I looked up Jeanette Winterson and got the right book first on the list. Very weird.<br /><br />Hope you enjoy this! It's made me want to read more about Ancient Rome for sure...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10330550798080469047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6907747392138991807.post-62196959408225476012012-11-25T06:16:52.988-05:002012-11-25T06:16:52.988-05:00Now that was weird!

I did an author search by whim, and there it was!<br /><br />So, it's on hold and I'll get to read it after all.Bookwyrmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11206423697706457318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6907747392138991807.post-56325131935256688232012-11-24T22:12:42.802-05:002012-11-24T22:12:42.802-05:00Now I want to read it.

As did the fact that each part (I believe there are four) is prefaced by a perfect little gem from Tennyson. Both poems are perfectly seated in the story and seemed right at home. Love it when an author can pull that off without seeming pretentious!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10330550798080469047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6907747392138991807.post-3404794448642132072012-11-10T13:08:47.393-05:002012-11-10T13:08:47.393-05:00Oh, what a great title!

I am glad that there actually are horses in the book itself, too :-)<br /><br />I am reading Sarah Waters' The Little Stranger now, which is pretty gothic, too! So creepily atmospheric :-)Aartihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02354873119188597611noreply@blogger.com
