Rite of Fancy

  A short summary of The Last Sister: The slaughter of a school teacher and his wife uncovers the murderous history of Bartonville. My favorite Kendra Elliot quote from the book: "Memory is inherently unreliable. With time, it degrades. With trauma, it fragments. In isolation, it festers." Questions to ponder while reading The Last Sister: Have you ever been ashamed of your parents? What would you do to keep a secret? My review of the book: A great little murder mystery. I couldn't put it down. A fun rainy day read. ****** ********************************* a.d. elliott is a wanderer, photographer, and storyteller living in Salem, Virginia.  In addition to her travel writings at  www.takethebackroads.com , you can also read her book reviews at  www.riteoffancy.com  and US military biographies at  www.everydaypatriot.com Her online photography gallery can be found at  shop.takethebackroads.com #TaketheBackRoads Like my page?

  A short summary of The Murmur of Bees: Simonopio's story of saving the son of Morales. My favorite Sofia Segovia quote from the book: "Life waits for none and death takes us all." Questions to ponder while reading The Murmur of Bees: Do you need to speak? What is nobility? My review of the book: A strangely compelling story. Beautiful imagery. A peek into the lives affected by the Mexican Revolution. ****** ********************************* a.d. elliott is a wanderer, photographer, and storyteller living in Salem, Virginia.  In addition to her travel writings at  www.takethebackroads.com , you can also read her book reviews at  www.riteoffancy.com  and US military biographies at  www.everydaypatriot.com Her online photography gallery can be found at  shop.takethebackroads.com #TaketheBackRoads Like my page?
