When they lived in Bristol she would take her first daughter to the library which had a fabulous children's section, placed on shelves inside a boat.

Then, one carnival night two women (badly injured and in need of assistance) find themselves at the convent’s gate—and effectively answering all of Beatrice’s prayers. Sus frases están escritas en un lenguaje que no ha podido ser descifrado (he leído que ahora han puesto a una IA a intentar leerlo), sus páginas están llenas de misteriosas imágenes a todo color que hacen referencia a las estrellas, plantas de las que no se tiene constancia, escenas de mujeres que se han interpretado como rituales…. Her translation of Boullosa's Texas: The Great Theft was shortlisted for the PEN America Translation Prize.The book has some botanical illustrations - including some fictitious plants - but the contents have never been successfully de-coded, despite some of the best minds and scholars all over the world doing their best to uncover the mystery.

As they prayed, Adam lifted his eyes and saw the rock and the roof of the cave that covered him overhead, and prevented him seeing heaven and God's creatures.

Una de las cosas que más han llamado la atención es el tratamiento histórico que ha hecho Meg Clothier de la historia aunque tiene tintes fantasiosos y de realismo mágico. I really wanted to like "The Book of Eve" by Meg Clothier as it had been likened to The Binding and Handmaid's Tale. Digo que la idea es buena porque a pesar de que no se nombra directamente (lo cual tiene sentido porque el nombre por el que lo conocemos se le dio siglos después), la novela gira en torno al manuscrito (o códice) Voynich, un libro miniado fechado en el siglo XV, cuyas ilustraciones y textos son todo un misterio, incluso a día de hoy.

It really picks up on a secret world, and as a woman who is not known for following rules it feels that the book ending up in her possession was meant to be. A magical book which needs to be protected at all costs, when it falls into the hands of Beatrice, a librarian at the convent.Empires of EVE is a narrative history book series from Andrew Groen that explores the politics, warfare, and culture that has shaped the virtual universe of EVE Online.
