Flight of the Heron read-along: Part I chapters 1-2

[regshoe]

Hark! now the drums they beat again for all good soldiers, gentlemen...

Welcome back to the Flight of the Heron read-along! This week we read the first two proper chapters, and meet Keith Windham—and Keith meets Ewen Cameron.

As you'll have noticed, Broster is fond of including both Gaelic and Scots words in dialogue; this online Gaelic-English dictionary and this one for Scots may be of use if you'd like to look anything up.

Next week we will continue with chapters 3 and 4.

Hullo! I just wanted to let you know I am following along. I get very intimated by book clubs (so many opinions!) so I probably won't contribute much, but I am reading the book (and the opinions). I know it is a very important book to you, and I'd like to know it, too.

Hiya! Aww, I'm glad to hear that :) I hope you enjoy the book, and if you do want to contribute any comments they're very welcome—this certainly isn't a Serious Opinions Only book club, I for one shall probably spend the next few chapters going, 'hee, I love the funny thing Keith says there :D'.

How nice to see you again! *waves* :D

Ha, same here. It's so different from what I'm used to read, it's really work for me. ;) But very rewarding I think!

Hello, Doctor Zook! How splendid! If you post any homoerotic art to go with the read-along, I will be compelled to comment on it! Probably something pithy like Yowza!

Haha, I see: no pressure at all. :D
