Nation
"...This is their place.... And you know what? I can prove that no European has been into this cave before me." Daphne looked around, chest heaving with passion. "See the gold on the gods and the globe and the big door?"
"Yes. Of course, dear. I could hardly fail to notice."
"There you are then," said Daphne, picking up the lamp. "It's still here!"
thanks to little_carrot, I have just finished Terry Pratchett's Nation. and, yes, it is really good, so thanks for the recommend.
read it. sure, it's in the Young Adult section of the library, but it's really good. some of the imagery and description is quite startling, beautiful. the characters are delightful. the story, wonderful. I'm not a huge Pratchett fan, either.
[but don't let your kids read it. it's too subversive.]
