The Listeners
by Maggie Stiefvater
What an interesting and beautiful book.
As with all of Maggie Stiefvater’s books I am left wanting more. Tell me more about the water? June? Tucker? Hannelore?
I was delighted by the characters and the prose even though I don’t normally connect with historical fiction. This was very well researched and vividly imagined, I had dreams that I was in the Avallon when I read before bed.
Favourite lines, a select three of three million possibilities
It was a no with some real heft, a no you could put ham and cheese on.
No, she had not met Mrs. Pennybacker, but she suspected she knew the shape of her. A missing partner was like an unspoken word; it fit neatly against the spoken one.
The hotel bar. He had been getting around to it. Yes. She knew that. Maybe not exactly what he was going to say, maybe not exactly this, but she'd known the shape of the unspoken. This was why she had sat in the booth for a long time, even after Gilfoyle didn’t return, trying to decide it she would go to the Gilfoyle apartment, knock, say, Finish your sentence.
