Henry Silver is the lord of an ancient forest kingdom, able to bend the Wood to his will, as a bow is bent for an arrow, and he is not sulking. So what if Tobias Finch had packed up and left him, and without him, Greenhollow Hall feels huge and empty, a shipwreck hull? So what if a terrible burst of confession had washed away the camaraderie and ease he and Tobias earned over the past months, a top-down tumble from sweetness to curdled resentment that had left Henry alone and drifting inside his “thorn-girt fortress” where everything seemed to speak the awfulness of what he’s done? That is, if you ignore the way his heart is hanging open on its hinges. In fact, Henry Silver is perfectly fine thank you very much.
and possibly bang my forehead against it a few times.ĭrowned Country begins with Henry Silver decidedly not sulking. Drowned Country is about Henry Silver, and where Tobias Finch’s voice in Silver in the Wood made me want to fold him in a big blanket worn soft with many washings and protect him from the ravages of the world, Henry Silver’s voice made me want to put my head down on a table.
