Hi, everyone! I'm Lynn, an indie author, a reader, a gamer, and an occasional watcher of dvds. She made me write an intro for myself over on her half of our conversation, so I insisted she do the same for me, like so: She was one of the first people I met when I began blogging, and she's introduced me to heaps of great books over the years.
Now, a brief word on Lynn before we start. I invite those of you in search of something a little more review-like and a hell of a lot more spoiler-free to peruse my totally inadequate (but nonetheless enthusiastic) 2009 review. It's a conversation between two people who have many, many thoughts on the book and not shy about spoilers. That's enough to get by on, I suppose, but I'll warn you: this isn't a proper review. The meetings quickly become a yearly thing-and, in time, morph into a different sort of relationship altogether. Xas is reluctant to offer outright advice, but his interest in Sobran's situation is strong enough that he agrees to meet the young vintner again next year to see how everything's turned out. If you're unfamiliar with the book and require some summary: Disconsolate in the wake of his first major heartache, Sobran Jodeau takes himself to the far corners of his family's vineyard to mope-and instead meets an angel with whom he hashes out his problems.
My good friend Lynn O'Connacht, who introduced me to it in the first place, responded, and the next thing either of us knew we'd decided to reread it together. So many wonderful things begin on Twitter.Ī few weeks back, I tweeted some brief, complimentary thoughts on THE VINTNER'S LUCK, Elizabeth Knox's novel of interspecies love in nineteenth century France.
