Rendition In Pursuance Of Books The Gracekeepers (Gracekeepers)
The magical story of a floating circus and two young women in search of a home.The sea has flooded the earth. North lives on a circus boat, floating between the scattered islands that remain. She dances with her beloved bear, while the rest of the crew trade dazzling and death-defying feats for food from the islanders. However, North has a secret that could capsize her life with the circus.
Callanish lives alone in her house in the middle of the ocean, with only the birds and the fish for company. As penance for a terrible mistake, she works as a gracekeeper, tending the graves of those who die at sea. What drove her from home is also what pulls her towards North.
When a storm creates a chance meeting between the two girls, their worlds change. They are magnetically drawn to one another, and the promise of a new life. But the waters are treacherous, and the tide is against them.

Whelp, here is one of 3 magical/fantasy/realism circus-type books I've read in the past 3 months completely accidentally coincidentally. I didn't know this genre was so strong.I picked up this book in Edinburgh while on vacation because the cover is lovely. In England. Here in the US it's kind of poopy and looks like a tampon commercial. But the book is very nice and fairy-tale-ish, kind of "Water for Chocolate" meets a seafaring fantasy world. There are a few women characters who are reallyFirst, a short rant. I've been eyeing this book for YEARS because of the stunning cover but since the hardcover version I wanted was out of print, it took some years before I got it from Amazon marketplace a couple of years ago. Sadly there was no book in mint condition available at the time and mine had a few damages. One being a mark from a sticker the previous owner had removed. A second being water damage to the dust jacket and binding of the book, which likely came from the way it was
Oh not sure where to begin with this one you know sometimes you read a book that just touches your heart for reasons you cant really put into words well The Gracekeepers is just such a novel, beautifully written, highly compelling with such wonderful characters and setting that you just sink into it and leave the real world behind.Where you will find yourself is within a post apocalyptic setting where most of the earth is covered with water, small pieces of land dotted around. The inhabitants
5 out of 5 stars I loved this so much I dont even know how to briefly explain... Review to come.
Such a beautiful and atmospheric novel - the writing is so graceful and the characters well developed. I love North and Callandish and the way their relationship develops.
Many ways to fly, but only one way to fall. Buddy read this with KatieIf there's one word I could use to describe this book it would be atmospheric. The writing was gorgeous and even though I left with a lot of questions unanswered and even though the author did a disservice to my favourite character, I enjoyed reading it a lot. It really has the capacity to transport you to this world and interest you in the characters and their adventures. The truth is that I was curious about this since
3.5 stars Look, its been a while since I read this book, and I guess the fact that I don't really remember all that much about it says it all. It was a really nice book, and I enjoyed it, but it wasn't really memorable, and it was slightly dull in places. The cover is gorgeous, though, and underneath the dust jacket there are waves and stars and stuff and its really pretty. However, I am not here to review the cover, and this review may be lacking in some substance because I don't have much to
