Amazon Editorial Review

The nameless and beautiful narrator of "The Gargoyle" is driving along a dark road when he is distracted by what seems to be a flight of arrows. He crashes into a ravine and wakes up in a burns ward, undergoing the tortures of the damned. His life is over - he is now a monster. But in fact it is only just beginning. One day, Marianne Engel, a wild and compelling sculptress of gargoyles, enters his life and tells him that they were once lovers in medieval Germany. In her telling, he was a badly burned mercenary and she was a nun and a scribe who nursed him back to health in the famed monastery of Engelthal. As she spins her tale, Scheherazade fashion, and relates equally mesmerising stories of deathless love in Japan, Greenland, Italy and England, he finds himself drawn back to life - and, finally, to love.

I read this a few years ago and loved it.

This is on its way to daffodile-2 as part of the UK Wishlist Tag Game, hope you enjoy this as much as Idid :-)

Received in the post today from Yorkshire-lass as part of the UK Wishlist tag game. Thanks very much. A friend recommended this one to me so I shall look forward to reading it asap.

Review:- I was rather disappointed with this book as a good friend had recommended it to me but I just didn't like it very much. I read about 100 pages of it and I enjoyed reading all the medical stuff and quite liked the main character. However I found all the historical stuff very weird indeed so I skimmed the book to the end.

I will re-release it soon. In fact I will probably offer it to Snoopy56 when we meet next week as she often likes books that I don't and she's fond of historical novels.
Update 12.6.2017- I did offer the book to Snoopy but she had already read it.

This book was left on a bench seat inside the gardens of Blickling Hall.
I left it after having an enjoyable celebratory lunch at Sheringham with my husband on our 46th wedding anniversary.

To the finder:-
Welcome to bookcrossing -you have found a travelling book. Please make a journal entry now to say where you found the book in case it has been moved. Then, when you have read it, please come back and make a further entry saying whether or not you enjoyed the book and why. It is now yours to do as you like with it, pass it to a friend or just leave it somewhere different for someone else to find and help it with its' journey. Of course if you can't bear to part with it at the moment then keep it, but please let me know that you have found it. If you join bookcrossing, which is free and spam-free, you can follow the book on its' travels as you will get an email each time it changes hands, but if you prefer to remain anonymous, that's fine too. Please also say what you intend to do with the book next. Thanks for coming onto the site to let me know you have found the book.

I already have books travelling in many countries around the world-a list can be found on my bookcrossing profile.

When re-releasing this book please be aware that airports are not a good place to leave books unless they have a specific book exchange shelf or area, due to security problems, so they may well just be disposed of. Also charity shops may well discard books that have been labelled in any way and they mostly chose only the books in the very best condition
to place on their shelves and discard the rest-so another bad release option.
