The Apple-Tree Throne
The Apple-Tree Throne | Premee Mohamed
3 posts | 4 read | 2 to read
It is the turn of the century in an England that never was. Bright new aqua-plants are generating electricity for the streetlights; news can be easily had on the radio-viz; and in Gundisalvus' Land, the war is over and the soldiers are beginning to trickle home. Amongst these is Lt. Benjamin Braddock, survivor of the massacre that ended the war, and begrudgingly ready to return to a world that, well, doesn't seem to need him any more than it did in peacetime. His friends have homes and families to return to, while he's got nothing but his discharge papers and a couple of unwanted medals. Oh, and one new thing: the furious ghost of his commanding officer. Fortunately, since the officer's family is so vehemently adamant that Braddock join their rich and carefree fold, he doesn't have much time to fret about being haunted. But the secrets of the war are about to catch up to them all. "A steaming heap of self-indulgent drivel" - the author

Huh. The ending was wistful and bittersweet in a way I didn't expect. Beautiful writing.

"That old story they tell to scare children, about what happens to those who eat hazelnuts from a cemetery."

Is this a real tradition or an in-story thing, anyone know?

Reading this fun little #novella tonight, trying to up my book count for the year (I‘m still down by 15 🤓)

slategreyskies I know what you mean! Last year was a great reading year for me, so I set my goal higher than usual this year. Then, I met my guy & our whirlwind romance turned into an engagement & elopement & moving to a different state. Long story short, I‘m 67 books behind schedule!! But I think it was worth it! Ha! ☃️❄️✨ 6y
rachelm @slategreyskies What a wonderful year! You have so much to celebrate! Books will always be there… 6y
