jackPendulum Sun
Missionaries go to faerieland! There is much dwelling on the nature of faeire, and how it fits into Christian theology. It's not very like, but it's one of the few books that reminds me much of Jonathon Strange and Mr Norrel.
The sun is actually a literal glowing pendulum.
My biggest problem is that I wanted *more* like that, more of faerie than this little corner, more history of the theology that we learn.
And I admit, I am aching to write some things set in faerie that describe more what it's like living day to day in a land where navigation is more about states of mind than distance.
Soul Kitchen
Poppy Z Brite's third novel about New Orleans chefs G-Man and Ricky. Like the others, it's incredibly incredibly lovely to read, but leaves you feeling a bit like not much happened. I am enjoying seeing the characters grow into their success a little.
AIUI the next one is set after the hurricane.
