#lockdownbingo 6 of 8 Prompt 6: Local author Sᴀᴘᴘʜɪʀᴇ Sᴋɪᴇs ʙʏ Bᴇʟɪɴᴅᴀ Aʟᴇxᴀɴᴅʀᴀ 🔷️🔷️🔷️ At the end of 2nd month in lockdown and entering a 3rd, my headspace dictates that I should be turning to favourite authors to guarantee some comfort reading. I've enjoyed most of Belinda Alexandra's novels but with one set in Russia (a favourite setting!), I know I'm in for a treat. . Sapphire Skies is a time slip novel where we past and present being represented by multiple POVs and the past is truly reaching into the future. The main protagonist, Lily, is an Australian of Russian descent who came to live in Russia as she grieved over a terrible loss. She became entranced and incidentally drawn into the story of a Russian hero, a female ace pilot, who was lost during the war. It was a story of innocence lost, betrayal, strength and a love that always is. . Utterly engaging and even if the ending wasn't quite what I wanted, it was probably the right thing because it still warms my heart and now, I can go to sleep to dream of happy things ;) . 🔒 Here we are at week whatever of lockdown (I don't even know what number anymore!) and I find my little one calling everyone on his kids messenger list practically everyday 😒 How are you hanging on? DM me if 𝘺𝘰𝘶 need a chat 🤗 🐶 #sapphireskies #belindaalexandra #localauthor #AussieAuthors #australianwomenauthors #aww2021 #historicalfiction #timeslip #russiansetting #romance #evansandtate #margaretriver #semillonsauvignonblanc #freshasadaisy #booksandwine https://www.instagram.com/p/CTderPjBRXy/?utm_medium=tumblr
