Here's my choice for this week's Waiting on Wednesday, hosted by Breaking the Spine.I really enjoyed Valente's other books (In the Night Garden and Palimpsest) so when I heard she had a new series coming I was really excited!
Series: A Dirge for Prester John, #1
Author: Catherynne M. Valente
Publication Date: November 1st, 2010
From Goodreads:
Brother Hiob of Luzern, on missionary work in the East on the eve of the sixteenth century, stumbles across a miraculous tree whose fruits are books. . .books which chronicle the Kingdom of Prester John. The Habitation of the Blessed recounts the fragmented narratives found within these miraculous volumes, revealing John's rise to power. . .from John's own viewpoint... from the viewpoint of his wife Hagia, and from the viewpoint of Hajji, a prayer-cantor who vowed to end John's illegitimate reign. World Fantasy Award nominee Catherynne M. Valente reimagines the legends of Prester John in this stunning tour de force.
Hmmm sounds like it could be interesting and I hope you enjoy it when you get the chance to read it. Thanks for sharing
