an amnesiac read - song of the swan

I tell you what's funny is knowing you read a book, the details of the book, and yet cannot remember the date the books was read.  


Seriously.  Amnesiac-like.  Total weirdness for me.  And oddly, all of a sudden it hits me that I've read this book.  lol.  


Totally weirdlo for me here.  =)  I think I got the book because B  read it and it sounded interesting.  Then, mayhaps while in semicoma of sickness, (I don't remember much the day after Christmas to New Years), I read the book then completely forgot about the book until today.


Strange, huh? 


Yeah, that's my thinking.  Maybe it was the sneezing that reactivated some of my memory banks.  lol.

Both Galen FitzHugh and his swan, Stephen, mourn lost loves. Hobbled by a battle-scarred knee, the warrior frets about his keep and his people. A troupe of mummers appear and, thinking to take advantage of their presence, Galen declares a holiday. That's when events change for both man and swan, as Ethelfrieda, a delightful young maid, and her goose Matilda need protection. What they find is a new way of looking at life.

If I give a short recap of things, it would be longer than the story, which this entry is turning out to be.


The short-short is really well written and good.  I think Blodeudd (crosses fingers that I got her name right) would like this short ebook.  For a short short it has enough details to tell a good story.  And the blurb helps add a few lil tidbits to the story, for me.  =)


I have it 3 and half stars..


B's itty bitty review on the tale found here...

Itty bitty... more like a quick paraphrase. I hate it when it's nearly impossible to recap a story without feeling like you're telling it all over again. Almost as bad a blurb that does exactly that.

That's why I didn't bother. =) Good job though!

Ok the book had me a bit confused, but I got it now, and I do think I would enjoy it
