it was amazing
bookshelves: fantasy, favourites

Reading Tigana was like sipping liquid chocolate. Exquisite! I found myself many times deeply and profoundly moved. Kay was able to communicate the profound sense of loss felt by a dispossessed people and without the aid of music or even lyrics bring the music within the book alive to touch the imagination. I felt the mournful tones of the pipes, and the heart wrenching voice of Devin as he sings.

Kay makes us imagine what it would be like if the memory of your home is removed not only from your own mind but also from everyone elses mind. How would you be if nobody could hear the name of the place you were born - if no one could hear the name you were born with no matter how many times you screamed it. What would you be prepared to do, to sacrifice, to compromise, to bring that memory back?

It is said power corrupts. But so does obsession. So does revenge.

This is a tale of villains and heroes. Magic and power. Suffering and Vengeance. Love and music. All told through the fantasy genre.

Christine I wish this book was available for the Nook... Looks like I will have to get the paperback version...


Mimi This is exactly how I feel about this book too and I'm not even done with it yet.


Hanne Very nice review David! I agree whole heartedly with most of your observations, especially the sipping hot chocolate bit :)
