Fire, Bed & Bone
A good book, just not one that really captured my attention. I did read this years and years ago and I think I enjoyed it, but I honestly can't remember.
It was short, so I don't really have much commentary on it other than why did everyone say each others names so much when speaking? You don't do that in a normal conversation.
"How are you doing Mary?"
"Why I'm good Harriet! And you?"
"I too am quite good, Mary."
"Well that's lovely, Harriet."
"Mary, I have to say this conversation is quite stimulating."
"Why Harriet, I do concur!"
Just… no.
Also, it was said that Rufus was rather old for Comfort (his wife), but this was set in the 1300's when I'm fairly sure 12-14 year olds married 40 year olds. That means that Rufus was either 60+ - which would be frankly ancient for those times - or Comfort was 10 or under. Ick.
Other than that, it was interesting to learn about that period of time through the eyes of a dog, and I think it would be quite a good read for someone younger than I.
