WATERS OF VERSAILLES, Kelly Robson's beguiling novella of fishes out of water
WATERS OF VERSAILLES
KELLY ROBSON
Tor.com original
Free read online
Rating: 4* of five
The Publisher Says: A charming novella of court intrigue in 1738 Versailles as a clever former soldier makes his fortune by introducing a modern water system (and toilets) to the ladies of the palace. He does this with magical help that he may not be able to control.
My Review: This is what fairy tales should do, make the world shimmer with magic and stir the reader's spirit to singing a song as right and true things displace the brummagem and the mundane.
Just go read it! Or step over to Amazon and get the Kindle edition.
