Silent Sorrow (The Book of Remezov)

Product Information

To Remezov’s dismay, Felicev’s ‘solution’ was for the two geographers to join a guided tour of the city. He restrained his excitement. His simanarc was much more sophisticated than this instrument. Quadrants allowed amateurs to observe the gross movement of the earth, though not with enough accuracy to quantify small changes or to predict earthquakes. This configuration would allow the observer to see both the index mirror and a distant object at the same time, making measurement easier. The manufacturers were likely to sell as many of these as they could make, even at the steep prices being asked. a b c Graham, Ann (28 February 2004). "Flight of fantasy". Waikato Times. p.D4.

Indeed, the tour had gone on long enough. Glancing up to fix the direction of the sun, he turned and strode away.

Permission granted, Remezov hurried off the gangplank and on to the pier proper before the next disgusting explosion could find him. What I was not satisfied of this novel was that the author could have probably tied up the lose ends of HE’s birth right as a Prince and probably as the Crown Prince. HE is probably not interested in living in the Palace nor inherit any Royal titles but how would an Emperor do nothing for him knowing that his son is staying outside the Palace? It would probably be more satisfying for the Emperor to provide some kind of title or recognition for HE, spend some quality time with son or Emperor disguised as a mentor to get close to long lost son kind of plot would be quite satisfying and heart warming. At the same time, banish the evil Empress for her wrong doings. Next, smell. Each earthquake, even the smallest, had a distinctive scent, the result of unique local strata and variable groundwater levels. This one… Well, this one suggested a damp cave in which blue-veined cheese had been stored a season too long. A sharp, wet tang with a hint of sourness.

All very well for a plodder like Felicev, a methodical scholar’s scholar to the bones. Two hours of listening to someone drone on about turgid irrelevancies was his idea of bliss. Not to Remezov. He hadn’t endured a two-week ocean voyage just to look at architecturally dubious stonework. Not when he had the problem of a rogue quake to solve. His fingers itched for crisp paper and rich ink.

Estilia’s chair scraped as she struggled to her feet. Send Bujina in, would you?

At this moment, HE was unable to leave Tong Sect and was imprisoned by his adopted father, the Sect Leader (2nd Prince). His attempt to flee the Sect failed and he was badly injured. Three months later, he promised to complete his last mission for the sect and thereafter, be set free from the Sect. This earned him a raised eyebrow. Maybe so, she said. But Estilia of Onchapal is still the greatest geographer in the world. No youngster could challenge her, especially not one so proud. Then where is Bujina? I need her observations almost as much as I need her data. She was under the strictest instruction to report in person to me. To keep shtum, or not to keep shtum – that’s one of the big questions in play in this Booker prize-shortlisted novel. From Paul and Lola’s silence over Robbie’s wrongful imprisonment to Briony’s attempt at repentance through voicing her version of the truth, it’s a story that shows just how compelling silence can be as a narrative device.In my novel, The Silent Treatment , Frank and Maggie have been married for 40 years but they haven’t spoken for the last six months. It is at once an uplifting love story and a mystery, an emotional drama and a meditation on trauma in a family. The further I explored the subject of silence in my characters’ lives, the more I learned that it is a compound of nuances that mean something different to everyone. Silence can be both terrifying and calming, at once isolating and communicative in its own way, depending on who is expressing it. Cooper, Tracey (14 January 2012). "Falling stars".

Come on, Felicev, make an effort. Dry land’s only a few steps away. Following the lives of three generations of the Trueba family, this novel is marked by the decision of matriarch Clara to fall silent for nine years after the death of her older sister. In place of speech, Clara turns to writing, art and her spiritual powers as alternative means to connect with the world around her. This is suitably beguiling proof that shouting the loudest isn’t always the best way to be heard.
