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.

Ha, I mean, the entire notion of canon era Ewen considering the EU is fairly ludicrous given that you’d have to explain to him what a unified Italy even looks like!

…and now I’m contemplating trying to explain Eurovision to someone from the 18th century.

To return to your main point re symbolism: thank you again for pointing that out. I am curious to go back through the rest of the book and see as to what sort of things Broster notes with regards to the natural world and examine the symbolism. It’s something that makes her writing very rich, I feel.

Wearing my Australian hat, I'm still baffled as to why we're in Eurovision. I am not alone in this.

Now I'm picturing 18th century Ewen, finally having got his head round what and why Eurovision is after tgarnsl explains it to him, giving up in exasperation upon trying to comprehend the logic of Australia taking part.

(I always appreciate Australia's presence, logical or no :D )

I'm also confused by that, although it is in keeping with the general who-knows-what's-going-on that is Eurovision.
