Sharing Knife: Passage Post
May. 14th, 2008 11:27 pmTechnically, I finished the Sharing Knife: Passage (Lois McMaster Bujold) on May 2nd, so it should go in the May log, but it was remarkably not-obnoxious so I want to give it a shoutout.
Plot: newlyweds Dag and Fawn Bluefield embark on a flatbed trip to the ocean, gathering people along the way: Fawn's younger brother, a sympathetic flatbed captain, the captain's uncle and nephew, and one, then two, young Lakewalkers on the outs with their camp. Narrative as great American river trip: Dag explores his ground-manipulation skills, and the flatbed captain asks at every single stop what became of her missing father, brother and fiancee.
( Spoilers, and assumes you've read the novel. )
