I don't know how long I lay there. It grew sreadily darker, but whether it was the day drawing on to dusk, or part of the strange, foreboding silence that overtook my home that afternoon, I could not say. I was lost in my misery. Above me the trees moved and sighed in the wind, and there were voices in it. Daughtre of the Forest by Juliet Marillier

I've just got Daughter of the Forest by Juliet Marillier after a recommendation from a friend, anyone else read it? What did you think?

I really loved this book and thought it was exceptionally well written as it would have been so easy to lose the plot with such a complicated and fragmented use of time, but it always remained completely believable. Only nearly in tears Kell? You did better than me then! :oops:

I'm a mad Jane Austen fan, I even used my Favourite book by her (Persuassion) as part of my dissertation! I'm currently reading Lady Susan, a very early work of hers. Emma however, is another favourite of mine, and yes there certainly are jokes! Jane Austen made a living out of making fun of society and its conventions, but she did it in such a cleve and a gentle way, that they didn't mind or perhaps didn't notice! I would wholeheartedly recommend any of her books!
