I am already scheming of a way to trick Amazon UK into selling me the kindle version here in the US once it releases this month. It would be cruel to make me wait another 6 months or so to read it as "The Shadowy Horses" is my #1 favorite Kearsley book (as my ragged original paperback attests). I'm really looking forward to seeing Robbie as an adult and hero of his own story. Are there any references to any of the people in "Shadowy Horses" in this one? Even just a throwaway mention? Thanks!

I had to go back and remind myself of the exact ending! <br /><br />I actually quite liked the narrator in the audiobook I listened to. Her voice and tone were perfectly suited to the character and writing, it's McCall Smith's voice that didn't quite work for me!<br /><br />I see you've found the Crossing Places review now :)Rosariohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13015659149421085931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3730322.post-37760815207795371202013-01-03T15:43:09.544+00:002013-01-03T15:43:09.544+00:00I saw that Robbie was going to be in Firebird, did...I saw that Robbie was going to be in Firebird, didn't realize the other connection. Something good to look forward to.<br /><br />The No. 1 Ladies worked really well as an audio book. The narrator had a lovely, lyrical voice that seemed to suit Ma Ramotswe.<br /><br />I'll be interested to read your take on The Crossing Places. The personal stuff is problematic for some readers and I'm not sure where the author is going with it ultimately. It certainly keeps a level of tension throughout the other books, but I just don't see how it can end well.<br /><br />Looking forward to all the reviews.

I do suggest you reread The Winter Sea if it's been a while, though, so maybe something to do in the meantime? :)Rosariohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13015659149421085931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3730322.post-20517394943432479882013-01-01T16:17:08.662+00:002013-01-01T16:17:08.662+00:00Humphf!

I'm (obviously) in the US, so I have to wait eons for it.<br />Seriously, I am so happy you loved it; it gives me something to look forward to.Barb in Marylandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11374278685536530837noreply@blogger.com
