A Butcher Tale edition by Joe Attanasio Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
This story follows the experiences of a young apprentice butcher in late thirteenth century England (Brave Heart's time, but it isn't a heroic war story). The protagonist falls in love, has interesting exploits and shows heroism. There are tragic events and heart warming ones and in the end it's a darn good story. It's told in a simple prose that threw me off at first, but I found it fit the story; I felt like I was reading a memoir. It also shares historical information in an interesting way, events as seen through the eyes of the "little people" left to keep England afloat while kings and lords fought for wealth and territory. After reading a couple of chapters I had a hard time putting it down, not because of a heart pounding pace, but because I cared to know what each character's future held. Give this book a chance.
Set in England and Scotland in the fourteenth century, I found I am familiar with many of the locations in this story which made it extra interesting for me.
Although it contains Lords, kings, priests, knights and peasants, it is by no means a fantasy story. As far I as I can gather, from my own historical knowledge, the tale is factually and historically correct.
Looking in on the lives of the lower classes was a particular refreshment from the usual grandiose literature concerning the monarchy's and other honoraries.
This is an enjoyable history lesson for younger readers, but I believe all ages will be enlightened by this tale. There is a positive, running message throughout the book even through the darkest days.
I see some of the reviews saying this book needs editing, but from what I've just read, I take it that the author must have dealt with the issue because I didn't come across this problem.
Very sweet and uplifting story...puts your mind in a calming place. Enjoyed the history of the era. The positive outcomes were slightly unrealistic.
While this book was an interesting account of a13th century pivotal figure, it is in serous need of editing. Wrong words, incomplete sentences, missing punctuation, served as a frequent distraction to the story.
Interesting story, but not very well written. Clearly some good research went into the story but the language is written for a 8 to 10 year old.
Liked not a bad story
I bought this book for a light read but have not been able to keep away from it! You instantly fall in love with the characters and their life. With each turn of the page I became more and more in love with the characters as well as wanting to know more. I have found myself reading this historical romance novel whenever I can, even when walking to and from classes.
