Two other brave Romans, called Spurius Lartius and Titus Herminius, at once answered the call of their comrade, and these three gallant men went to defend the passage, while the rest hastened to destroy the bridge.
When the Tuscans saw the three men standing ready to meet the whole army, they laughed aloud in scorn. But their laughter was soon changed to wrath and despair, as one after the other they and their chiefs were quickly laid low at the feet of the dauntless Romans.
Meanwhile the supports of the bridge were destroyed. The Consul shouted to the three heroes to hasten across before the ruin fell into the water beneath. Lartius and Herminius just succeeded in getting safely to the farther bank, but Horatius remained facing the foe until the last beam fell. Then with a cry he leapt into th. . . Read More

I was really disappointed in this book, especially after reading Chidgey's The Transformation. The characters were undeveloped, the plot dull, and the 'six degrees of separation' of the characters really bland. All-in-all the book felt amateur.
Really enjoyed this one. It's one of those "see how our lives all interact" stories.

Oddly
I just love the way that Catherine Chidgey puts words together.
This is one of those books that require you to keep track of several threads at the same time - the disappearance of a young woman, letters addressed to "Colette" telling her about a man she's never met, family life etc. etc.
If you can manage it, the novel turns out to be an interesting story, set m
I will definitely look for more by this author. It really reminded me of The Lovely Bones. the characters were very believable. It was easy to read, but the main storyline - young girl goes missing, presumed dead - isn't really resolved. You learn what happened, but the book ends before the characte
I read this over 17 years ago. I loved the book and loved the dust jacket!
I didn't know what to expect when I picked this up off the library shelf, but I was definitely not disappointed.

Makes no sense
I kept thinking that in the end the author would bring all the pieces together. But they never came together, the story just ended leaving you scratching your head saying "what"?
This was a nice easy read. Though the characters didn't get much depth, somehow you still bond to them. We follow a variety of characters, a young girl moving out of home for the first time who decides the other end of the country is a good idea, a family grieving the loss of a daughter, a man in ho
I quite enjoyed the journey this book took me on. There are a variety of perspectives and timelines and stories. But the ending is quite underwhelming.
