But there are ghosts and spirits and a sense of a god-like presence or idea which got me close enough to 'mystical'. <br /><br />No, I didn't read it in an hour, but I did get almost half way through in that time and I finished it off that night before bed. I will check out your link again, now that I've read the book that the launch referes to :-)Bronahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11110584237325026052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1483877654474162845.post-79311221829215511902015-04-29T09:45:13.301+10:002015-04-29T09:45:13.301+10:00Oh I'm jealous that you found a spare hour to ...Oh I'm jealous that you found a spare hour to read this- did you really finish it in an hour?? I too have been wanting to read this book for ages. I went to the launch at the CBCA conference last year and have had it since then, gnawing away each time I read another book instead. I too noticed it on the shortlist and now it's gnawing away more. But I've just started Claire Zorn's The Protected - for similar reasons of course- but this one is a library book and I need to crack on with it. Funny how there's less pressure from books you've actually bought. Mystical isn't always my thing, but I am of course drawn to good writing. Diana Sweeney spoke very well, and has had an interesting journey to writing I'm sure I will enjoy her writing. <br /><br />http://astrongbeliefinwicker.blogspot.com.au/2014/05/cbca-booklaunches.htmlLouisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13187730620736345378noreply@blogger.com
