There, I holed up for three days, planning and re-planning and cutting myself out a suit of clothes. I struck out, in what direction I cannot say, and came upon a chestnut grove just beyond the walls, on the outskirts of the convent grounds. I went opening doors and closing them carefully behind me, and when I came to the last one I shook off my veil and went out into a street I had never seen, without any idea which way to turn, or where I might be going. I took a pair of scissors and a needle and thread, I took some of the pieces of eight that were lying there, and the keys to the convent, and I left. She touched her hand to my forehead and said, “Go on, go to bed.” I left the choir, took up a lamp and returned to my aunt’s cell. The nuns were singing the psalms in a mournful tone, and when they got to the first lesson I went to my aunt and asked to be excused, telling her I was sick.

The second book in a deliciously sexy new series from USA Today bestselling and RITA award winning author Caroline Linden, in which an utterly shocking book - Fifty Shades of Grey for the Regency era- has all of London talking and gives more than one young miss a mind for scandal. It is a violent book – and quite graphic at times. I don’t think this is a book for everyone, as I can think of one scene in particular which involves children experimenting with sex, and it was just very hard to read. There’s no denying it is a very coarse and raw book. At first, we try to be like the others, and I have tried to be like everyone else. We do not know that an escape is possible. But first, we do not naturally think of running away because we do not know that there is an elsewhere. On essaye dans un premier temps d’être comme les autres, et j’ai essayé d’être comme tout le monde. On ne sait pas que la fuite est une possibilité. Mais d’abord, on ne pense pas spontanément à la fuite parce qu’on ignore qu’il existe un ailleurs. I also read that it was pretty much a best-seller in the US, although it was criticised in France for its coarse language and crude representation of the working class poor. I can see why this would be, as there is a constant opposition between the narrator’s elegant prose in a perfect written French, and his family’s mundane and vulgar spoken words. I haven’t read the English translation but heard that it didn’t quite convey the subtleties of language of the original version. It was first published in France in 2014 and was translated into English two years later by Michael Lucey (published by Farrar, Straus & Giroux). Before I delve into the content of the book, I think it’s important to note that I’ve read this novel in its original language – French. I took it on a date on NetGalley’s and all I can say it’s that it was perfect, I couldn’t wait for the next time I saw it. I’ve seen it a few times on a website or too, it looked a little bit shy, hiding between all those amazing Australian writings, and when it looked at me – in that perfect moment – I knew this would be the one. It’s simple, just a yellow can of spray that could paint you the whole world, that can take all the beautiful words in the world and put them together in the most perfect story I’ve ever read. It was love at first sight, yes I am shallow like that, I fell in love with the Australian cover. For richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, as long as we both shall live, until my kindle do us part. “I was nothing inside but light and color”Ĭan you be in love with a book?
