Commentary In Pursuance Of Books As Meat Loves Salt

In the seventeenth century, the English Revolution is under way. The nation, seething with religious and political discontent, has erupted into violence and terror. Jacob Cullen and his fellow soldiers dream of rebuilding their lives when the fighting is over. But the shattering events of war will overtake them. A darkly erotic tale of passion and obsession, As Meat Loves Salt is a gripping portrait of England beset by war. It is also a moving portrait of a man on the brink of madness. Hailed as a masterpiece, this is a novel by a most original new voice in fiction.

Evaluation Epithetical Books As Meat Loves Salt

dnf@20% -- Look, the writing is excellent. The characters are compelling. But I have zero interest whatsoever in watching this trainwreck play out and seeing Jacob murder and rape more people he doesn't deserve. No thank you. Just no.

Even three weeks after reading it, I'm still not sure what I made of this book. The blurb on the back is misleading: it sets the book up as a fairly standard historical doorstop-novel, following the fortunes of a country lad separated from his fiancée and forced to find his way in the world. The novel is anything but typical. It's a psychological thriller, a tale of twisted erotic love and an accurate and fascinating evocation of one of the most interesting times in British history.

I feel like I need a support group after reading this book. I both loved & loathed this book. The book captured the mood and feeling of the English Civil War, the brutality and fears. I felt so many emotions reading this, hate, disgust, pity and sadness at both of the main characters, but mostly sickening fright for Jacob's rage. I feel he was unaware of his mental disturbance, making him complete monster, yet by the end I pitied and even sympathized with him and his frantic, uncontrollable

Time for a VERY belated review:I am currently reading Ace, King, Knave by Maria McCann, and unfortunately I can't help but compare it to this first of her books that I read, which I'm not sure I will ever get over. I wish I had been a Goodreads member when I read it, so that I would have had a reason to write down my thoughts on paper. I remember it being on my mind for days, probably weeks after I finished it, and it still haunts me. As well as being one of the best examples of realistic,

I waited and waited before reading this book; I found all the possible excuses, like it was out of stock and they released a paperback version! Like it was too expensive for the shipping cost and they released an ebook version! It really seemed they wanted for me to read it who they are? My conscience, my heart and my damn love for good historical novels that of course overcome the small voice that was saying, be careful, this book will haunt you. Oh, how much it was right! And unfortunately my

O Wrath, your tang is surely the most spicy and pungent of all the Seven Deadly Sins! your flavor is compelling, so exciting and satisfying... it gives purpose and heat and righteousness all at once. never mind the taste of ashes left in the mouth after the meal is over; that is soon forgotten in the yearning to again consume the dish and recapture its flavor once more.As Meat Loves Salt is many things: a thrilling historical novel of the 17th century English revolution; a darkly-hued
