The End & Last Letter

Well even though the titles imply otherwise these are the first two chapters of the novel.

At this point the most important thing seems to be setting up character relationships. There seems to be a thick tension between the characters and it is obvious that later in the book the narrator will elaborate upon these relationships.

These chapters also set up the intrigue and plot for the twins in the novel. It is interesting how Edie doesn't want to tell her daughters the news right away of both their aunt's death and the girls' inheritance. This also adds to intrigue.

My prediction is that perspective will soon switch to the twins and we may learn about all of the characters' pasts along with the twins as they explore their aunt's world.

In my opinion it is a rather slow but efficient beginning.

That's all I noted for these sections but please comment if you have anything to add. I will post again shortly!

New Book Announcement

Well, I'm a little delayed as usual but I've finally picked the next book I'd like to read. I decided to go with an easy-to-read book so that it would be easier for me to read alongside my school material.

So without further ado, the book I'm going to start reading is called Her Fearful Symmetry by Audrey Niffenegger (the same author as The Time Traveler's Wife). This book tells the story of two twins' explorations into their family history and they discoveries they make therein.

I will post after each chapter and I hope you will follow along and leave a comment! Hopefully this will be an enjoyable and easy-to-follow story.

The Toronto Star called it "A deliciously dark, Gothic saga of obsession, deceit and family secrets." it sounds like something that could stir up a lot of conversation, so please participate!

I'm looking forward to starting and will post soon!

Hello there!

So I've decided to try something new! Instead of dividing each book into sections and discussing each one, I've decided to simply write a post for each chapter. This way people can follow along if they wish and can add a comment for the chapters they want to discuss. This will also allow us to study the book in greater detail and give people some more freedom in regards to deadlines.

So, I will announce the next novel tomorrow and I will probably start reading/posting about it sometime next week! I hope some of you will follow along and add comments!

Thanks everyone!

Test

I've decided to set up mobile blogging so that I will be able to post more! I hope this works though.
