Hild by Nicola Griffith
The setting is 7th century Britain. I bought the ebook for $1.99 awhile back. I read for a couple of days, and only racked up 8% according to my Kindle reading progress. The names and other words in Old English are a stumbling block for me. Oh, and did I mention that it is over 700 pages long?
Since I'm working in the garage this week, I sprung for a month of Audible. (I previously used the free 30-day subscription years ago, and apparently that is a one-time offer.) I also bought the audible version of the book since it wasn't on their free-credit list. Those two things are a chunk of my entertainment budget for the month, but I cut myself some slack since it will keep me working in the garage more than if I was wanting to come inside to the A/C and read. Plus having it narrated should do away with my struggle with the Old English.
