Oh, thank you for the links to both! I've added Imre to my reading
list—it looks like a fun short read! I also have the Canadian site ebook
version of Flight of the Heron in my phone, so I will eventually see
whether I take to the Jacobite period as well. :)
Your Fathers of Men review including a comparison with The
Hill is perfect! I got the same impression of the central triangle when
reading both, and as with both, I was most interested in the villain role
of Evan/Scaife. I do have a bunch of highlighted passages wherein Jan
describes Evan's beautiful skin and hair, ha. I love the language around
it! But it's very helpful to see you reacting so much to the specific
context of the author, and that helps me explain some of my detachment from
the novel.
