Remember your passed father with these in loving memory quotes for dad and never forget just how important your father was. Fluctuating between the present, 1791 and 1857, the novel tells the stories of Gaelle, Abigail and Margot. Remembrance has a plot that, if well crafted, could be one of the greatest historical fantasies ever written. That said, it fell short for me. It took me nearly a month to read; simply because every time I came to a "present" chapter (Gaelle's POV), I would just get bored and put it down.

Angela will be missed by so many people but I will especially feel her loss as we became very good friends. I do hope your family are able to find some peace and are comforted by all the outpourings of love for Angela. My condolences.

Your brother was always one of my best friends and it’s heartbreaking that he has passed away. We grew up together and even when our lives took us in different directions we kept in touch. He was loyal, smart and hilarious. We are all worse off now he is gone. Please accept my condolences.

Nella seconda parte del libro invece si parla della storia di Serena con Vasili, della sua carriera da indossatrice e di come le cose possano cambiare e precipitare in modo vertiginoso. Di Vanessa e di come si cresciuta, di Teddy e di Linda. I think the story of Gaelle, our present day character, could have been left out of the book. It seemed a bit extraneous and didn’t really add anything to the story. It seemed like she was just a bit haphazardly thrown in there. I think the story would’ve had a much smoother flow if her chapters had been omitted. One of the other things I had a hard time with was how long the book seemed. It seemed like there were a lot of things and events that were included that didn’t necessarily have to be. It just made the story a bit long-winded. Girl like you...they’ll have you bedded down with the master in no time. And when he gets tired of you, they’ll mate you like a hog to some old field hand...’” This generational historical fiction had the potential to be one of the best novels I’ve ever read. However, a common issue with most debuts is the author biting off more than they can chew and/or failing to execute in the final chapters to tie everything together. That makes this review challenging to write because Dave Henry, Louisa, Abigail and Winter are characters I will never forget. The resolve they had in the midst of struggle fueled their will to live and protect what is theirs. As vivid as these characters were and the diligent research done to provide historical facts and context, the link between the MC’s Margot, Abigail, and Gaelle was a disappointment.

I loved the historical bits. Not for the actual "history", but for the beautiful portraits the author weaved into the narrative. I'm not one for info dumps, but that is exactly what saved this novel for me. The grand landscapes of Haiti, and New Orleans in all of its splendor. Even Remembrance, where everything happened, was nothing short of mesmerizing. If you enjoyed Ta-Nehisi' The Water Dancer, for its fantasy aspects, then Remembrance has some of its own. I'm sure getting to combustible levels will appeal to you in some way. It was actually pretty cool. The four women’s lives intersect in unexpected ways and challenge our concepts of time and space. The writing is beautiful and creates vivid images. The characters are well developed and it’s easy for the reader to connect with and evoke empathy for their plights. Ho trovato in questo libro che non solo serena che è la protagonista sia un bel personaggio ma di come Teddy che dalla prima all'ultima parte sia perfetto, di come sia leale, sincero e un amico, fratello, zio e marito splendido.

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I – I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference” – Robert FrostSerena witnessed the death of her parents at the hands of her uncle, brought away to Venice by her grandmother, she soon loses the only family she knows as she is shipped off to a New York convent for her safety during the war. Throughout this entire novel, not ONE of the characters felt real. Do you know how much profanity I'm tempted to use here as I attempt to convey my frustration? OK, Steel, you've made it quite clear that a woman should always be perfect (flawless figure, long and lean, shining hair, amazing fashion sense -- piss off, why don't you), ready to have sex multiple times a day at the drop of a hat, and -- if at all possible -- a princess. They also receive diamonds, fur coats, and endless amounts of wealth at the drop of a hat. No biggie. Happens all the time. Remembrance…It’s a rumor, a whisper passed in the fields and veiled behind sheets of laundry. A hidden stop on the underground road to freedom, a safe haven protected by more than secrecy…if you can make it there. " Sarah became such a good friend over the years we worked together. We would always gossip and take extra long coffee breaks! I am truly going to miss her. May she rest in peace.

A book of condolence is a book that allows people to write their condolences after someone has passed away. It is often used for the most terrible of tragedies – things like earthquakes, flooding and other disasters – or the loss of important figures like great leaders or statesmen and women. Joe was such a good laugh and could always put a smile on anyone face. That incredible sense of humor is what I think I will miss the most. This is how a fantasy, historical slave fiction novel should be written. Beautiful, intense, mystical, and wrapped in magical realism.Remembrance is a historical fiction/magical realism novel that takes place during two different time periods. The story follows three women in the pre-civil war era and one woman in the current day. Their stories intertwine in the novel, exploring the boundaries of physical space and stretching the limits of time, all while exploring the magic of vodun and other supernatural talents and abilities. Pictures are treasured keepsakes and something the family will love. If you have a picture of the deceased you can include it when you sign the book or leave it with an accompanying note. In a parallel, but later, time, we also follow Gaelle. Gaelle works in a nursing home, where she takes care of a mysterious older woman no one seems to be able to connect to. Gaelle breaks through to the woman, learning that her name is Winter, and that strange things happen when the two of them are together.
