It’s the reason that the Japanese practiced the art of Kintsugi, or “golden joinery,” an ancient method of fixing broken pottery by using an adhesive mixed with gold powder to join the pieces back together so that the cracks shone gold. I was so desperate to have someone to discuss it with that I tried to summarize the plot to my husband, who turned to me with his “how did I end up marrying this insane woman?” look in his eye and said, “Why the fuck would you read something about that?!”īecause, in things that have been destroyed and put back together differently, there is a particular kind of unique and moving beauty.

Then, one heist away from freedom, Vanja crosses the wrong god and is cursed to an untimely end: turning into jewels, stone by stone, for her greed. Now, Vanja leads a lonely but lucrative double life as princess and jewel thief, charming nobility while emptying their coffers to fund her great escape. The real Gisele is left a penniless nobody while Vanja uses an enchanted string of pearls to take her place. That was when Vanja’s otherworldly mothers demanded a terrible price for their care, and Vanja decided to steal her future back… by stealing Gisele’s life for herself. Vanja, the adopted goddaughter of Death and Fortune, was Princess Gisele’s dutiful servant up until a year ago. Vanja Schmidt knows that no gift is freely given, not even a mother’s love–and she’s on the hook for one hell of a debt.

I read reviews on Amazon of all four books recommended (Meade, Marlkale, Weir and Kelly) and all have four stars ( Kelly's book gets part of a fifth star). Is Kelly's " Eleanor of Aquataine and the Four Kings" a re-issue of the 1950 book, or did she re-write it? I wanted to see what else is recommended. I have a copy of Amy Kelly's original "Eleanor of Aquataine" ( 1950 edition) which I confess Inhave not yet read. Thanks! This is a gift for someone who is very much into history. |
