The reason is character - complicate, misunderstood, flawed but at heart good characters with whom the reader and sometimes only the reader can empathise.<br />Thanks Sara - great thought provoking post.Jan Carrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11335419896028312596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-879471721147949241.post-19729918069642676922014-09-09T10:12:18.462+01:002014-09-09T10:12:18.462+01:00Fabulous, thought-provoking post, Sara, and my wis...Fabulous, thought-provoking post, Sara, and my wish-list of new reading now even longer. Re influence of childhood favourites, having written contemporary YA twice, I was shocked to discover I loved historical while developing a WWI short story. Then I remembered exactly what I read as a teen. Endlessly. Yup. Historical. <br />PS totally agree about Canadian title.

Milky, gentle light, a curl of mist on the water, the lapping of waves against the boat: I close my eyes and I can feel it close round me to chase whatever's bad or scary away.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13912774665400125173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-879471721147949241.post-66329809097049336842014-09-05T13:11:52.488+01:002014-09-05T13:11:52.488+01:00I love your post, Sara, and you're so right - ...I love your post, Sara, and you're so right - it is hard to analyse exactly why a book goes from being a good read to an absolute favourite. A Gathering Light is one of those books for me too. I'm reading We Were Liars at the moment, and The Collected Works of AJ Fikry is on my must-read list. One of my all time obsessions has been A Fine Balance by Rohinton Mistry beacuse it's just such an amazingly, rich story beautifully told, with characters who pull at your heart strings.

So I'm re-reading the Poldark saga - I'm on Warleggan and I also have Zennor in Darkness by Helen Dunmore which is about DH Lawrence living there in WW1.
