Even the simple Teixcalaanli which appears every two or three pages took me till well near the end of the 400-odd pages to get my mental tongue around. Language and poetry are at the heart of the story, so the language has to feature heavily, it has to be strange, but it is a step too far when every time the title ezuazuacat' or the descriptor Teixcalaanliztlim brought me up short, halting the action, stalling the emotion. I can see why she does both, but it's a disappointment because they're the blocks against which the brilliance of the book stumbles. The problem with Martine's fiction debut is that she makes the two commonest errors in SF writing: she tries to be too clever and she wants her fictional languages to be complex and rich and errs on the side of making them unpronounceable by most readers. What is with these people putting their finger between their teeth? I just always get this feeling when I read the authors books that he is trying too hard to write overly intelligent. Why? Also we learn that Piper is blind so how does she just run off by herself and not run into something? Also Gemma smiling at her daughter to go along with Ghost talking to her is confusing. Also it's weird they are even there just to get Pipers height and weight. I've never known anyone to let their little kid go alone to the back. How do you know a man wrote this that doesn't have kids? The nurse calls Pipers name and the little girl goes off with the nurse to the back.

He likes her face and the shape of her, so he makes quiet arrangements with her father. Rose is sixteen when she catches the eye of the local lord. Rose’s new anger grows inside her, but she is careful not to let it show. Things are hard for her family that winter, since the blacksmith demands reparations. Instead, she hides it in the corner, under a bag of wrinkled potatoes. She does not swallow her anger, or smash it and scatter the pieces. Rose stares down at the rock in her hand, at the blood drying beneath her fingernails. Her mother locks her in the storage shed. “You must be a good girl,” her mother whispers. For an instant, Rose can see her mother’s anger, pressing out above the collar of her dress. After a long moment, her mother presses it into Rose’s hand. It is smooth and gray, like the river rocks. Later, her mother pulls the anger out of Rose’s chest and stares at it. She screams and rakes her nails across his face. The blacksmith’s son smirks at her, waiting for her to swallow it down like she knows a good girl should. Her anger forms a hard lump in her throat. Her dress is cold and wet against her skin as she drags herself out of the water. She lands badly, rocks scraping her knees, tearing her palms. Rose is ten when the blacksmith’s son pushes her into the river. Narziss was dark and thin of face, and Goldmund open and radiant as a flower. Although he makes friends easily, he only becomes true friends with Narziss – opposites seem to attract. Goldmund is brought to the monastery, Mariabronn, one day by his father. The story has a simple beginning: Narziss is a scholarly type who is well-suited to the monastic life, he’s still quite young when the story begins and is yet to take his vows. I had a rocky ride reading this book after about fifty pages I wanted to throw it to one side with contempt, I continued for a while then it annoyed me for another reason, but I continued, and by the time I finished it I was enjoying the story and found it difficult to see why the beginning annoyed me quite so much. The Penguin edition was first published in 1971. The translation I read was by Geoffrey Dunlop and was originally published in 1932 as Death and the Lover. Narziss and Goldmund was originally published as Narziß und Goldmund in 1930. Accordin to Türker, there is a bi contradiction between the Enlish and Turkish versions of articles defamin Gülen.
