4.0étoiles sur 5 An intriguing read, Déc 5 2003
Par K. Darmenova (Atlanta, GA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
I borrowed the book from the local library without knowing anything about it and I was pleasantly surprised. Very good book... The style of writing is amazing and the story is captivating.
In brief - the narrator lost somebody she loved, she tried to escape from her reality so she entered another one - the reality of a a 15th-century seaside village. She mingled with the people, she experienced their thoughts, feelings, actions and superstitions. This place is magical even inhabited by ordinary people. The book made me think a lot about the human soul and its journey through life...
Why after all I give the book four stars not five? The second part of the book - the journey to Jerusalem was slow and not that deep and profound as the first part...

5.0étoiles sur 5 a spellbinding parable, Mai 30 2002
Par Rebecca Brown "rebeccasreads" (Clallam Bay, WA United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
I really liked Julia Blackburn's little book. It is exquisitely written in lean & learned detail, & carries the Reader off into another time & another place where our ancestors tried to make sense of what they saw, believed & felt.

This is a rare book to encounter about what it might have been like to live 800 years ago on the coast of a sparsely-settled land, where a new religion interfaces with the old, where life is so fragile before the onslaught of the weather, relationships are infused with hallucinations, & pilgrimages to the Holy Land undertaken in dire poverty & total surrender.

THE LEPER'S COMPANIONS is about a grieving woman & her travel through that hurt into healing.

A pearl of a parable that glows with authenticity, & I hope it comes into reprint so that it can thrill others as it did me. Until then go hunt up a used copy, I'm not selling mine!

5.0étoiles sur 5 Coping with Grief, Oct. 26 2001
Par "jasonharvey777" (Richmond, VA United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
When one goes through a hell of an ordeal (an indelible memory left etched on a soul) how does one cope with it's affects? This is a question that Julia Blackburn explores in The Leper's Companions.

In her story, time plays an important part of her character's dealing with the grief she's experienced. When the story opens the narrator is in the present, in a state of mourning for the loss of a loved one. Someone who has been lost to her for an indefinite amount of time. It seems only appropriate that from then on the narrator finds herself far in the past, observing the life and trials of people seemingly far removed from her experience.

It is as if, she, by focusing on their lives each in order, is some how also focusing on corresponding aspects of
her own life and grief. She does this in a such a quiet way it's almost easy to forget that she's there observing things. There is such a quietness about this process that it is if your were embarking on it with her and were seeing the people for yourself. You go on this journey with her and when she reaches the place she was going to you have to.

I think this is one of the most beautiful books I have ever read. It's flow and message have left me much to ponder. It has given me much insight on how we deal with and get rid of the grief we carry inside.
