Sunday



I'm currently reading THE UNQUIET BONES by Mel Starr. This is 1st of 5 in series featuring Hugh de Singleton, a surgeon in Bampton, near Oxford, during the reign of Edward III, in 14th century England. Here is a description:

Hugh of Singleton, fourth son of a minor knight in Wyclif’s England, has been educated as a clerk, usually a prelude to taking holy orders. However, feeling no certain calling despite a lively faith, he turns to the profession of surgeon, training in Paris and then hanging out his sign in Oxford. He was staring from his Oxford window, hoping for clients, when Lord Gilbert was kicked by his groom’s horse. Hugh’s successful treatment of the suffering lord led to an invitation to set up his practice in the village Bampton – and, before long, the request to track the killer of a young woman whose bones have been found in the castle cesspit.
 
It was published in 2008 and has 256 pages. This is a book from the library. I'm giving it a try; it's told in first person. 

Tonight we have The Walking Dead to watch. I'll try not to watch the Academy Awards. 



Much love,
