I've just started the novel, Parrot & Olivier in America by Peter Carey.
Not available as an Ebook from my library, I'm reading the traditional format. The book jacket artwork is lovely, it looks like an oil painting from an 18th century master, the texture even looks like canvas.
Peter Carey is one of those authors that I place on request as soon as it becomes available at my library.
I categorize him as a "tell me a story" writer. Ala Robert Louis Stevenson, Dickens and Dumas.
Parrot & Olivier is true to form so far, setting starts in France during Restoration when Olivier is a child. Olivier's character is based on the real life Alexis de Tocqueville.
