The Secret River
London 1806 - William Thornhill, happily wedded to his childhood sweetheart Sal, is a waterman on the River Thames. Life is tough but bearable until William makes a mistake, a bad mistake for which he and his family are made to pay dearly. His sentence: to be transported to New South Wales for the term of his natural life.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It is the book of the month at our book club and is probably not a book I would have chosen for myself but is an extremely interesting portrail into life for people in that age and of the two countries.
This story is basically in two parts, Will's London life and then his Australian life. The two are most definitely linked to each other but in terms of Will's and Sal's feelings and adventures they are worlds apart, or you could say continents apart. The story ...
Advantages: A good idea Disadvantages: Overly descriptive and complicated in places
After having read Russel's second book about Jan Fabel, Brother Grimm, I wasn't overly keen on reading anything else by this author. I had enjoyed Brother Grimm in places but found it to be disappointing over all. However, somehow I still ended up with Blood Eagle in my hands. This is the first book in the series of Jan Fabel, Erster Kriminalhauptkommissar (Principal Chief Commissar) with the Hamburg Police murder squad.
The book starts with an email from "Son of Sven" to Fabel which makes it clear that this Son of Sven character is a murderer and who is taunting Fabel personally with the notion that this is only the beginning and that he will not stop until he is made to do so. So far so run of the mill crime book. However, the plot quickly thickens as Fabel starts to investigate the brutal and apparently ritualistic murders ...
Advantages: Nostalgia at its finest - great artwork Disadvantages: Some art-work looks a bit 'scanned from a comic' - maybe it was
guessed it, The Eagle?s illustrations.
It was the same when I noticed one of the few surviving German-built Amphicars (yes, they really could go in water and on roads, but fancy making them out of steel ? I ask you!). Spotting the owner, I was able to ascertain whether it still had its original Triumph Herald engine. The mere fact that I knew this got me some odd looks from the assembled populous of Twickenham, gathering to see if it was going to sink as it edged down the slipway!
In fact, the Amphicar graces the front cover of '?The Eagle Annual of the Cutaways'?, depicted both entering water and on a river at full speed (not very fast), complete with driver wearing office suit and Trilby hat ? yes, why is that?
Orion Books have done a first rate job of ?ageing? the cover to look like a well-loved and thumbed edition, complete with false ...
