He returns, unsure of what he'll find, or what he'll feel, being back on the island that he was forced to leave at age twelve. After ten years away from his ancestral home, the magical island of Cadence, Jack Tamerlaine has been summoned back by his laird. But with each passing song, it becomes apparent the trouble with the spirits is far more sinister than they first expected, and an older, darker secret about Cadence lurks beneath the surface, threatening to undo them all. Book review: A River Enchanted by Rebecca Ross. Adaira, heiress of the east and Jack’s childhood enemy, knows the spirits only answer to a bard’s music, and she hopes Jack can draw them forth by song, enticing them to return the missing girls.Īs Jack and Adaira reluctantly work together, they find they make better allies than rivals as their partnership turns into something more. The capricious spirits that rule the isle by fire, water, earth, and wind find mirth in the lives of the humans who call the land home. Enchantments run deep on Cadence: gossip is carried by the wind plaid shawls can be as strong as armor, and the smallest cut of a knife can instil fathomless fear. But when young girls start disappearing from the isle, Jack is summoned home to help find them. Jack Tamerlaine hasn’t set foot on Cadence in ten long years, content to study music at the mainland university. Signed hardback copy and commissioned art print of A River Enchanted by Rebecca Ross.

The narrator is incapable of describing what he sees with words because the truth is he doesn’t understand cathedrals: “…athedrals don’t mean anything special to me. With much attempt, the narrator is still unable to describe the cathedral, saying, “I’m just not good at it” (Carver 276). The narrator finds himself to be in a crisis because he couldn’t even begin to describe the cathedral even if his “life depended on it” (Carver 276). Upon Robert’s arrival the tension builds up to the peak when Robert asks the narrator to describe a cathedral that was shown on the TV. He claimed: “A blind man in my house was not something I looked forward to” (Carver 265). The narrator is bothered by the man’s blindness and is unhappy about him staying. Right from the start, readers can sense uneasiness the narrator feels upon knowing that his wife’s blind friend, Robert, is going to stay at the house for the night. In the short story “Cathedral,” the author, Robert Carver uses tension to keep the readers glued to the story. As stated by Raymond Carver “There has to be tension, a sense that something is imminent, that certain things are in relentless motion, or else, most often, there simply won’t be a story.” These elements (“tension”, “something is imminent”) allow a reader not only to be engaged in the story but also keeps them at the edge of their seat. It is the elements of suspense and/or tension that make a story great. What is a ghost story without suspense? Or a great detective story without tension? Simply nothing. In his book, apart from Calvinists, Weber also discusses Lutherans (especially Pietists, but also notes differences between traditional Lutherans and Calvinists), Methodists, Baptists, Quakers, and Moravians (specifically referring to the Herrnhut-based community under Count von Zinzendorf's spiritual lead). In other words, the Protestant work ethic was an important force behind the unplanned and uncoordinated emergence of modern capitalism. In the book, Weber wrote that capitalism in Northern Europe evolved when the Protestant (particularly Calvinist) ethic influenced large numbers of people to engage in work in the secular world, developing their own enterprises and engaging in trade and the accumulation of wealth for investment.
