En smakebit på søndag: The Gracekeepers av Kirsty Logan

Mari på bloggen Flukten fra Virkeligheten hjälper oss att bjuda varandra på smakbitar ur de böcker vi läser just nu. Alltid kul att få lite boktips och lite försmak. Inga spoilers! Se andras smakbitar för dagen HÄR!

Boken Härskarteknik, som jag gav en smakbit ur förra veckan är fortfarande inte utläst - men den behöver pausar, i alla fall om något ska fastna - jag behöver tänka efter mellan varven.

Nu ska jag precis börja på Kirsty Logans The Gracekeepers, så smakbiten får bli just början av boken.

Om boken, först, kan man läsa:

A flooded world.
A floating circus.
Two women in search of a home.

North lives on a circus boat with her beloved bear, keeping a secret that could capsize her life.
Callanish lives alone in her house in the middle of the ocean, tending the graves of those who die at sea. As penance for a terrible mistake, she has become a gracekeeper.
A chance meeting between the two draws them magnetically to one another - and to the promise of a new life.
But the waters are treacherous, and the tide is against them.

Här kommer smakbiten: 

The first Callanish knew of the circus Excalibur was the striped silk of their sails against the green sky. They approached their tiny island in convoy: the main boat with its bobbing trail of canvas-covered coracles following like ducklings, chained in an obedient line. Ships arrived a dozen a day in the archipelagos, and Callanish knew that the circus folk would have to fight for their place on her island. Tomorrow the dock would be needed for a messenger boat, or a crime crew, or a medic. In a world that is almost entirely sea, placing your feet on land was a privilege that must be earned.
