Flight of the Heron read-along: Part V chapters 3-4

[regshoe]

But till my last moments my words are the same: there'll never be peace until Jamie comes hame...

The penultimate week of the read-along, and in these chapters we are still very Jacobite.

Next week we will, sadly, read Part V Chapter 5 and the Epilogue.

Oh yes, of course!

Yeah, it's a lovely and fascinating blend of history and magic—not quite so far over on the fantasy end of the spectrum as e.g. Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, but definitely not 'pure' historical fiction.

I think Mary Stewart's Merlin trilogy is somewhere on that spectrum too. She's very good on landscapes - there's definitely a Venn diagram to be drawn!
