Cho!

Why you didnt tell me one day earlier

I just checked my email and Chapters has shipped the book as of this morning.

So T<span style="font-weight: bold">rue History of Paradise and John Crowès Devil </span>are from the same author (insert broken question mark here)

I will add them to my reading list because it looks like I will need a few more books at the rate I am going

I am 1-third into The Bone Dolls Twin and I am sure I will finish it in a day or two.

I am also reading <span style="font-weight: bold">The Hanging of Angelique</span> . If you havent read it yet, you should check it out MGee. Very revealing bit about the history of slavery in Canada.

Re: The Bone Doll's Twin

Some people don't need to be buying any more books....but I digress

True History of Paradise and The Pirate's Daughter are the same author not the John Crow devil author.

I enjoyed The Pirate's Daughter, I hesistate to say it was not as good as True History becuase it definitely held my interest but TH was a bit more appealing.

Her are some ????????? for you to use....

Re: The Bone Doll's Twin

to me Pirates Daughter carried over nuff of the same themes from True History, without making those themes any more meaningful or illuminating. had a hard time with the heroine, and the treatment of black folks in the book. ironic, a bit.

nylah, haven't read the hanging of angelique but i know the author, afua cooper, for years now.

Re: The Bone Doll's Twin

Yes that will be interesting to see how reading the second book first will affect what you think of the author. I was very interested to read the second book because I remembered how much I enjoyed the first.

I went to the LIBRARY and borrowed Purple Hibiscus and The Known World and my boss gave me a book on Pirates that I am trying to read, it is actually very interesting but its not a novel so I feel like I am in school.
