It's Wednesday again and today's #erraticbookwedne It's Wednesday again and today's #erraticbookwednesdays book recommendation is the Celtic blood series by Melanie Karsak, starting with the Highland Raven. This one was a recent read and I absolutely loved it from the start. It's a historical fiction series set in 11th century Scotland and it tells the reimagined life story of Lady Macbeth - you know, the one from Shakespeare. In a way it rehabilitates her reputation and follows her as she tries to navigate between her foretold fate in service of an old Celtic goddess during the rise of Christianity, political intricacies that end up putting her on the throne with a mad husband, her own desires and the harsh realities of daily life as a woman back then. Obviously the real history gets bent quite a bit around the edges, but the whole series flows so well and has all the right details that bring back an echo of a time when the world was smaller, simpler and full of old magic.

'Earth is the embodiment of fertility. Think of it; we put a seed in the ground, it grows, from it springs food that allows us to live. To me, that is magic.' M. Karsak - Highland Raven

For this week's #erraticbookwednesdays book recomm For this week's #erraticbookwednesdays book recommendation I chose Orhan Pamuk's Silent house. It was written in the 80s and it's an interesting work of literary fiction, describing a turbulent week in the life of a Turkish family set against a backdrop of politics and Turkey's struggle for modernity. ☕ The main plot revolves around a bed-ridden widow, her dwarf servant and the three young people who come to visit her in her small town during the summer, but what I found most interesting was the insight into Turkish life and culture. Also, Pamuk got the Nobel prize for literature in 2006, so if you like a good fiction novel, this one is for you. 📚 Have you heard of him yet?
