2015 Book
The Ghosts of Heaven by Marcus Sedgwick
A bold, genre-bending epic that chronicles madness, obsession, and creation, from the Paleolithic era through the Witch Hunts and into the space-bound future.
Four linked stories boldly chronicle madness, obsession, and creation through the ages. Beginning with the cave-drawings of a young girl on the brink of creating the earliest form of writing, Sedgwick traverses history, plunging into the seventeenth century witch hunts and a 1920s insane asylum where a mad poet's obsession with spirals seems to be about to unhinge the world of the doctor trying to save him. Sedgwick moves beyond the boundaries of historical fiction and into the future in the book's final section, set upon a spaceship voyaging to settle another world for the first time. Merging Sedgwick's gift for suspense with science- and historical-fiction, Ghosts of Heaven is a tale is worthy of intense obsession.

Gryffindor...I'm a big H.P. fan, but when I took an online quiz, I came up Hufflepuff!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read this book. But I'm with Matt and Game of Thrones!
ReplyDeleteDon't hate me but I've not seen game of thrones!
ReplyDeleteOh pooh about going from nobody to somebody! I grit my teeth on society and how they place weight upon being "somebody". You are someone to many on the other side of the screen. It's a lonely place, alone, at the screen. Like a dream, eating the fruit inside, but you still wake up hungry. *hugs*
