Poetic Justice (Working Title) by Barbara Scott-Emmett

Genre : Literary Fiction, Mystery, Novel


Review Extract from Review By: aardvaarkcreative

"Poetic Mystery

You pose a question in your introduction "Does it work?".

The answer must be a resounding YES on all kinds of level.

The research is convincing, the character(s) fascinating, the story or mystery or odyssey or whatever it will be, draws the reader into itself and creates a piece of already very skilful writing ...

Memo to self: 1] go and look up ithypallic, erkish, pleromic and amital; 2] go find a collection of Rimbaud's poetry 3] stop singing nursery rhymes."


Synopsis
Andrea Mann is on holiday in France and is drawn into an association with a pretty boy and a charismatic older man. Is the lost Rimbaud manuscript they claim to have found genuine?

Would the star author like some seasoning with the dictionary they swallowed?

Definitions, please.

I don't think I used any of those words in this book. I might have done in another one - does this mean aardvark's been going beyond the bounds of duty in his reading?

ithyphallic - er, um, it means when gentlemen are um, er aroused.
pleromic - means fullness ...in a theological sense...
amital - is the aunty equivalent of avuncular but I think I may have made it up myself!
erkish??? I don't remember using the word erkish. Is it a word? Oh, maybe it means something similar to ithyphallic...

PS Those were the days when I used to read dictionaries for pleasure. I'm cured of that now.

Oh, ithyphallic! Not ithypallic. The "h" makes all the difference.
Best,

Forestry combines art and science, grapples with the ecological riddles of our time, but it's also a job. That's what I write about.

Yes, an H makes a lot of difference. Take the word 'sit' for instance, or 'wore'...
