pickAn extremely rich, character driven novel which reminded me of how much I love Jules‘ writing. Chenneville is a story that evokes a place and moment in history so strongly, while still remaining a really personal story about its central character. This is definitely an instance where reading in print rather than listening to the audio would have enhanced my reading experience. The narration here was quite flat which didn‘t do the story service
He was held up three days at Columbus because the ferry cable had broken, and so he watched from under a verandah roof....
They spoke of little things, things that mattered. The death of a baby from fever, that Jameson's mare had come home herself after being sto- len, that a man had come who read aloud from newspapers gathered from the entire world over, including stories of polar explorers and sinking ships in the Atlantic Ocean...
Deckled edges. 😀
I picked up 3 books at #TexasBookFestival this year. Can‘t wait to read them all! (Though I also just got Iron Flame and Bookshops & Bonedust should be here tomorrow, so I don‘t know what order I‘ll get to them!)📚 I had a fun time at the fest even though it was chilly and drizzly.
I also saw Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah talk about Chain-Gang All-Stars, but it was in a theater and they didn‘t allow photos.
pickHistorical fiction mixed with a bit of mystery and the western genre. Post-Civil War, Union soldier John Chenneville returns home, broken and shell shocked. Upon discovering the murder of his sister and family, Chenneville hunts the man responsible through a pre-Reconstruction south. Encountering struggling characters along the way, this is a reflection of the era of the aftermath of war and its victims in American history.

I love historical fiction, & am fascinated by the Civil War & Reconstruction periods. 𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞 sounds perfectly enjoyable on a crisp autumn evening on the patio now that fall has officially arrived. 📖🌳🍁
