To: "AccessibleWorld Book Discussion ." <aw-booktalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, March 04, 2009 1:00 PM Subject: [aw-booktalk] Book for next discussion The book to read for the April 7 discussion is Michael Curtis Ford's "The Ten Thousand". It is available from NLS and soon from BookShare.org . It is about the famous Ancient Greek soldier, writer, philosopher, Xenophon and is told by his servant, Rheo. It is a true story, though of course fictionalized, and mostly concerns how Greek mercenaries managed to make it back to their own countries after being stranded in Persia. A real survival story. I actually just finished it... and all I will say for now is that you will never look at honey the same again! Remember you can always get info on this group at http://histnov.blogspot.com . -- Happy reading! Nan Hawthorne hawthorne@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxAuthor of "An Involuntary King: A Tale of Anglo Saxon England" -- available now!
www.nanhawthorne.com"The author’s sound ear for dialog. Indeed, talk bubbles throughout this book, talk of high state affairs, the outpourings of the heart, and the joking prattle of old friends, and all of it works a kind of magic on the reader. Lawrence and Josephine’s world is one in which that reader will want to linger, and by the end of the book, many of its characters will feel like old friends." Historical Novels Review Online
