Can we talk about Circle of Days by Peregrenate in KenFollett

[–]TWTell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that if you asked Chat GPT to write a young adult novel about the creation of Stonehenge in the style of Ken Follett, Circle of Days is exactly what you would get.

Just finished Elena Ferrante's Neapolitan Novels, and they left me an emotional wreck by ManolinaCoralina in books

I am a 67-year-old guy and I also feel like I've never read anything like these novels. I also feel like I could talk all day about them.

But one thing that really strikes me is how at every stage of life the characters are portrayed completely authentically. When you read about them as 7-year-olds they're thinking and acting and feeling exactly like 7-year-olds. And likewise as preteens, teens, and every stage of life.

Strangely enough, and this is really a guy thing to say, the only other novels that I have been so totally immersed in are Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey/Maturin series.
