More reviews relating to archipelago.
A Northern Light by Jennifer Donnelly
The novel is set in the early 1900s and the main character is a young girl by the name of Mattie Gokey. She lives on a farm with her father and her younger sisters and dreams of being an author. She goes to school with her friend Weaver who is a black boy determined to be treated as an equal and together they plan to pass their entrance exams and move to New York City to go to college.
Plans are changed when they both find themselves working at a local hotel for the summer and Mattie speaks to a young woman named Grace who begs her to burn a stack of letters written to her beau. Later that same night Grace is dragged from the river in what looks like a boating accident gone horribly wrong.
Mattie reads the letters and uncovers a truth that changes the way she looks at her own life.
Julia Hoban talks about WILLOW and SCARRED
If you’re a regular reader of Blue Archipelago Reviews then you will know that I’m a big fan of WILLOW by Julia Hoban; I rated it five stars when I read it back in early 2009. Julia was kind enough to stop by and answer some interview questions then too.
This year WILLOW is being released on paperback on February 23 and is also coming to the UK in March. Interestingly UK readers will see this fabulous novel listed under a different name: Scarred.
I was intrigued by the change of name so I thought who better to ask for the reason than Julia herself – and she agreed to answer some more questions for us too.
Interview with Alison Larkin – Author of The English American
One of the things I love about Blue Archipelago is that hosting this website gives me the opportunity to actually interview the authors of the books I read! Hopefully by now you will have read the review I wrote about The English American – which I really enjoyed and I can highly recommend if you’re looking for Christmas Gift ideas. Alison Larkin, author of that great book, was kind enough to answer some questions about the novel, her life as a writer and the things that inspire her to write.
