A missing sword, a large cat, an impoverished family, and an ancestral pile and lots of intrigue makes for a somewhat dated, but still readable story. Norton, as always, does better with familiial relationships than with romantic ones, but this story definitely shows its age in terms of language and lack of... political correctness. If you're offended by Huckleberry Finn you should probably avoid this one . ( ) 1930s pulp novel which was contemporary fiction in its day and period fiction now. Two brothers and a sister, almost the last of a titled family descended from an English aristocrat who turned pirate and fled to the New Orleans area. The once-wealthy family fell on hard times a couple of generations back, but the siblings feel that if they can find the Ralestone Luck, luck will return to the Ralestones. It was apparently the first novel she wrote (though the second published), and it shows. It’s definitely Norton’s style, and the writing is competent enough for it to be readable, but it *is* a 1930s pulp YA with some flaws in the execution. There’s a touch of white privilege which made me twitch, probably the more so because I don’t expect that from Norton. I’m glad I read it, but I’m also glad I didn’t pay to read it. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

HTML: Though Andre Norton made her name as one of the first female writers to find acclaim in the male-dominated genre of science fiction, Ralestone Luck is one of Norton's forays into historical fantasy and fiction. This thrill-a-minute tale follows a group of siblings on a quest to retrieve a storied ancient sword that will restore their family's glory and power. .Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
