The news frae Moidart cam yestreen will soon gar mony ferlie...

Welcome everyone to the Flight of the Heron read-along! I'm delighted by the amount of interest there's been in this lovely book recently, and I hope this will be a great opportunity to discuss it in more depth.

Some notes:

A reminder of where to find the novel as a free ebook and a free audiobook.

My plan is to cover two chapters in most weeks, but I thought we'd start with just the Prologue, partly to provide a gentle introduction and partly because it makes it easier to split the rest of the book up in a way that makes sense.

We have a mixture of people re-reading the book and people reading it for the first time participating, so, if you've read the book before and would like to discuss earlier chapters in the context of what happens later on, please warn for or hide spoilers! I suggest using rot13, if that works for everyone.

Next week we'll read Part I chapters 1 and 2, and meet Keith Windham...

Ewen's carefree nature is so fun/interesting to me. The picture-perfect scene puts me totally on edge with anticipation -- something is clearly going to come along to disrupt all of that, lol.


Also, I'm going to nominate this book for Yuletide considering I'll be reading/listening to it at this time of year :D

Hi! I was planning to nominate Keith and Ewen, and possibly Alison. [personal profile] regshoe wanted worldbuilding nominated, and Aunt Margaret if I had space. So either you can use your valuable nomination slot for something else, or you can go ahead and nominate more characters!

Okay, great! Are there any other characters you (or anyone else) might want? I've only just started reading the book.

Regshoe: I nominated Aunt Margaret for you as well as worldbuilding, just so you know!

Impala_chick: Hmm, well, I'm actually planning to leave my request fairly open. So while I do like Alison, I'm okay with her not being on the list of nominated characters, if you have some other fandom you want to nominate instead.
