Here are my two most favourite books as the writer's words, expressions and beautiful phrasing simply swish around you like a cooling May zephyr.
The plot is most enticing but I am pretty upset with the beginning of the stories. The first story by Brian John, On Angel Mountain, shows the inferno the Morgan clan has emerged from. I would rate this N16 though. Not for the fain hearted.
There was a great fire before David and Martha, the author of the profound diary, met. The fire caused David to lose his parents, and siblings except his brother, who later died in a storm at sea.
Martha was found to be pregnant after a few months and with the help of Martha's brother, a Baptist, the two were married in secrecy.
Martha soon hates being pregnant and dreads it so much that she nearly committed suicide. Thankfully on that day, the sun was shinning and she changed her mind after visiting a friend. However her endeavours fail as she loses her baby and sinks into deep melancholy.
Other problems wind themselves tightly around the virtuous Plas Inglli, Martha's new family's estate.Moses Lyord, their manservant turns to be Martha Morgan's biggest nightmare.
Do read this book, I am very amazed that such amazing literary efforts aren't well recognised.
It is sold at the one and only borders outlet in Singapore, though I think I might have snapped up the last book.
