Unusually short book for Anne Rice. Ostensibly it is a ghost story with some history of how European Jews were treated during the late 15th Century. Of course, we had THE MERCHANT OF VENICE. But she found an event that actually happened to build the story around. But mainly this is a discussion between modernist ways of looking at religion and traditional views. This is Anne Rice...guess which wins out...
But, as usual I enjoyed being surrounded by the author's narrative style and rich environment.
I have now started The Turn: The Hollows Begins with Death by Kim Harrison. It is a prequel to her Rachel Morgan series which I have read all of and was very sad to come to the end of. This is set before "the turn" with an elven protagonist, and Trent Kalamac is also in the action. I'm looking forward to it.
