I was floating.
I felt vaguely, all around me, movements
uncontrollable violent eddies at the savagery unleashed
, and yet I was strangely calm.
Lil, a white settler, does not remember his past. But, collected and saved by a family of nomads khmels, he knows he owes them life. Thus began his life with those whom the invader devoted boundless contempt.
Throughout the day, Lil accustomed to the wandering life and finds happiness with the same Ako, a young boy with eyes irresistible. Alas, the veil of oblivion hidden secrets against which love can not fight ...
I heard about this book earlier this month, when I met Livre4ever. We just discussed this novel she had received from a partnership with the author, Rebecca Moleray. It is also known under the pseudonym Sherryn. I confess that my curiosity was piqued and Camille was kind enough to lend me so that I can in my lap and read me my idea. I also had some reservations early since the book comes from self-publishing. However, Passion Sandy has proved a pleasant discovery.
The summary and presentation of the author left hear a homosexual relationship. I admit that this scared me slightly but I was also anxious to find out. Indeed, it is actually the first time I read a novel in which the subject is approached directly. I was pleasantly surprised because the author discusses these relationships with a lot of sensuality. However, I found it really sad that two small moments, there are very explicit sex scenes (I'm not a prude but I am ashamed). I found they were too much as they contributed nothing to the story. Speaking of the latter, I liked the sequence of events. I wondered where Rebecca Moleray would lead us. I liked the end, it is up to the book.
However, it seems important to emphasize the author's style. For a first novel and given the young age of the author (barely more than twenty years), I was pleasantly surprised because Passion sand is very well written. The vocabulary is searched (especially anatomical vocabulary, she used words I did not know at all) as the structure of sentences. We feel that there is a true master of writing. I also enjoyed the alternation of focus between Lil and Ako. This allows us to appreciate these two protagonists. I found them both charming.
I started this book a little skeptical but I finally emerges from this reading completely enchanted. It was a pleasant and smooth playback.
