about what appears to be an interesting novel...Gerard Manley Hopkins: Prophet & Exile
I enjoy Hopkin's poetry. Even the Liturgy of the Hours in the 4 book format includes some in it's poetry section. None-the-less, and without any negative connotations attached to this book, I do struggle with the 'historical novel' no matter who it concerns. I understand what the authors of these novels are doing, but somehow I just can't set aside my love of fact for the idea of fictional representation of historical individuals lives. (Despite the fact that I enjoy film, comics and graphic novels. If I applied this attitude to everything I wouldn't watch anything but documentaries or read anything but non-fiction. I never said I was logical...)
