Fallen

[altariel]

I am reading Fallen by aliana1. It's a novel set in the Houses of Healing and it's exceptionally good. Readers of this journal interested in WW1 should read it, as well as Tolkien aficionados.

Oh goodness, thanks so much for the shout-out! A much-needed pick-me-up on a rather trying day.

I'm glad I posted in that case. It's super. Much better than the (Booker Prize longlisted) novel that I read just before starting it.

And now I am blushing! (I'm also intrigued that you thought of World War I parallels--I had World War II more in mind when I wrote it, but I'm pleased that you see it that way, too.)

'Tis true. Your voices are better, and your world is infinitely more imagined. (And I should have guessed WW2 when I read "greatest generation"! It's my habit to look for WW1 parallels in Tolkien fic.)
