It’s got a lot of different countries and some political stuff but the main focus is on the boating adventures, which I liked. In a time where YA fantasies are getting pretty typical this was different to anything else I had read. In delivering the cargo she hopes to make a name for herself, but she got a bit more than she bargained with. She decides to take matters into her own hands when a rouge vessel burns down a group of boats and her father refuses to take their precious cargo to its destination. Caro is seventeen, far old enough to be called to her fate, but so far she’s heard nothing. I read Song of the Current by Sarah Tolcser last year when it came out, but I haven’t heard much hype for it? And this book was really good and I feel like the series could be something amazing, so I wanted to get a few more people interested in this book.Ĭaro’s family have a special bond with the river god, who guides their crafts as they ferry cargo through the rivers of their land. I’ve got another spoiler freebook review for you today.

Valerie says of the writing of Zemindar which took place over a span of nine years, "l have no recollection of just when, or more important, why l set about telling the story of the Siege. Fitzgerald's soldier father was posted to Luchnow during World War II, she spent her adolescent years in the city and her summers on a zemindari estate similar to Oliver Erskin's fabulous realm. Her grandmother lived through the Indian mutiny so vividly recreated in this splendid novel. This incomparable saga of love and war, tragedy and trumph, is drawn from personal experience.

Now committed, I wiggled my finger inside the drawer to free it of the problem-a slim book, from the feel of it. Gathering a breath, I pulled at the knob of the top drawer. It came open several inches before jamming against an object. I could fold one of the undershirts my husband, Mike, wore beneath his police uniform. I could pick a song to play for one of my callers at the radio station in ten seconds. The laminated wood finish peeled around the edges, revealing smooth, pale plywood beneath. Now, twenty-six years later and about to breach the slender link of trust that remained between me and my sixteen-year-old son, I lifted my hand to where the partially opened drawer of Chris’s desk called to me, beckoning. As if I had some autonomy outside my parents’ overbearing control. Something about seeing them-the thin white package with the brown strip, the gold seal still unbroken-made me feel powerful. I remember glimpsing the package beneath old training bras and lacy underwear I bought at Victoria’s Secret with my friends, feeling a sense of accomplishment over their very presence in my room. I never smoked them, just kept them there for over a year. When I was fourteen, I hid a pack of Virginia Slims in the top drawer of my dresser.
