I had the pleasure of reading Libby's The Apprentice in a
pre-release version apparently printed for a literary competition -
someone made a used bookstore run for me and since I had nothing
else to read at the time, I read the thing.
I really only remember two things about the book - (1) lots of
snow, and (2) odd ways of referring to characters. Always "the
tanners of leather," "the keepers of horses," "the singers of
songs," and so forth.
The sex scenes I think I pretty much skipped over, though I think
there was the steamy bath house scene you'd expect in this sort of
novel. Reading that review, I remember now the pubic-hair pencil
scene, though I wish that I didn't.
