1468. A young priest, Christopher Fairfax, arrives in a remote Exmoor village to conduct the funeral of his predecessor. The land around is strewn with ancient artifacts - coins, fragments of glass, human bones - which the old parson used to collect. Did his obsession with the past lead to his death? Fairfax becomes determined to discover the truth. Over the course of the next six days, everything he believes - about himself, his faith, and the history of his world - will be tested to destruction.

Not what ive come to expect from R Harris
Revisado: 06-04-23
Shallow. Misguided. Contrived. As always Harris has a wonderful way w character and setting But in this case story concept weak and execution severely lacking.

Lidia De Angelis has kept a low profile since Mussolini's laws wrenched her from her childhood sweetheart. But when the Germans occupy Venice in 1943, she must flee the city to save her life. Lidia joins the partisans in the Venetian mountains, where she meets David, an English soldier fighting for the same cause. As she grows closer to him, harsh German reprisals and Lidia’s own ardent patriotic activities threaten to tear them apart.

Potential unrealized.
Revisado: 11-13-22
Interesting approach to two lives from different worlds in parallel but was not pulled off effectively. Also, the writing was riddled with cliche' metaphors to the point of being distracting. Almost worked.

On May 1, 1915, with WWI entering its tenth month, a luxury ocean liner as richly appointed as an English country house sailed out of New York, bound for Liverpool, carrying a record number of children and infants. The passengers were surprisingly at ease, even though Germany had declared the seas around Britain to be a war zone. For months, German U-boats had brought terror to the North Atlantic.

A dynamic narrative of the Lusitania demise
Revisado: 03-27-15
Where does Dead Wake rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Personal stories expertly woven to convey the events that led up to and culminated in a tragedy that changed the course of history. Larson's engaging account of this doomed ship and its passengers spares no details, but manages to build suspense and keep you listening with his narrative expertise.

In The Normans, Lars Brownworth follows their story, from the first shock of a Viking raid on an Irish monastery to the exile of the last Norman Prince of Antioch. In the process, he brings to vivid life the Norman tapestry's rich cast of characters: figures like Rollo the Walker, William Iron-Arm, Tancred the Monkey King, and Robert Guiscard. The Normans presents a fascinating glimpse of a time when a group of restless adventurers had the world at their fingertips.

great material, poor execution

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
I would not recommend this, though a big fan of Euro history. The writing sounded at times like written for a k-12 text book. The read was poor, which made it even less desirable. I tried to get through it because I'm fascinated by the period, but couldn't get over the shortcomings.
