Review of The servant of Crimson Hall
Posted: 26 Apr 2023, 18:46
[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "The servant of Crimson Hall" by Neri Javidiani.]
Jules Walder was born in the servant's quarter of Crimson Hall. His father, an ordinary coachman, married an educated governess in Crimson Hall, Anna Walder. When Jules was five years of age, his mother died mysteriously. And the fifteen years that followed her death were “ruined because of this cursed nightmare!" Despite this, Jules still found comfort in his beloved friend, Emily. Being the youngest daughter of the master, Jules's friendship with Emily often causes his punishment. However, this comfort appeared insufficient to shield Jules from seeking the truth about his mother's death. But could Jules bear this truth?
The servant of Crimson Hall by Neri Javidiani is a heartfelt novel that communicates the desires and thoughts of the writer, even on paper. I was mostly fascinated by the life and character of Jules Walder. As an ordinary servant, Jules had a way of communicating the best of his thoughts with readers. This was more than just an ordinary novel; I could relate to it as a memoir. The setting and era of the book were designed to give readers the feel of the eighteenth century. Jules's diversity in language, art, and lifestyle was amusing. I could feel his sense of reasoning, excitement, joy, confusion, and all the book had to offer. I liked this about the book.
Also, in this book, the writer effectively communicated the characters' thoughts and intents to the readers. An example of the precise attention given to the book is, “She was by the literate definition of the words I am writing without the least exaggeration or the use of metaphors, skin, and bone." Another promising feature of the book is the attention given to readers. Neri Javidiani made twenty-six references to her “dear readers" throughout this book. Statements like, “But dear readers, please don't blame me for being so forgetful…" made me feel special that the writer put all her readers into special consideration.
This book was well-chaptered, from the birth of Jules Walder on the fifth of January 1818 till ninety years after his birth. As an older man, Jules has captured his youth, education (English, French, and Greek), love, hate, belief, and struggles in this enthralling piece. I do not consider any part of this book negative. But the review will receive a rating of 4 out of 5 stars due to the errors I found in the book.
Readers who are interested in adventure novels would find this book enjoyable. Also, this book can pass as a memoir to an extent. Readers who enjoy historical fiction would also find this book a good read.
