Enjoy For Free Burning Silk (Textile Trilogy) Drafted By Destiny Kinal Available As Manuscript

is an art to writing a novel an arc of movement, a thread of thought, an inner fire stoked by imagination and all the writers come before.
A writer can be a person who strings words together in an endless river or a writer can be an artist, Taking paper, ink, and words creating something otherworldly, something elsewhere, Destiny Kinals novel Burning Silk, the first in the Textile Trilogy, is the product of this type of writer,

Set in and around thes, Burning Silk begins the story of the Duladier family, With a rich history of silk spinning to their name, the Duladiers have a long family tree of maitresses extended down the female line, women who nurture and develop the moth cocon to bring about its silk.
Catherine, as the youngest and newest maitresse, takes us fromGrasse France, where she experiences her first painful introduction into the role of a Duladier woman to Bucks County,

Pennsylvania, a decade later as wife and mother, to launch the Americanbased Duladier silk enterprise.
She may be on another continent, but Catherine has never escaped the inner torment of her earlier years, and she is forever anguished by the experiences of her youth.
Her fear, her pain, sets about a series of events from which the Duladiers may never recover,

To say this novel is about silk spinners in the nineteenth century is a trite understatement, Silk as a fabric is sensual by definition, and though Burning Silk is marketed as ”erotic fiction,” don't confuse it with an easy paperback romance.
It is an epic work of fiction, doused in rich historical language and time, exploring the role of woman as mother, daughter, sister, lover, and self.
A complex, multilayered book, Burning Silk tells a story with power and identity, letting the characters develop into themselves, It exposes given certainties and changes them a child becoming a woman, the first experience of sexuality, confronting ones innermost desires, the voices used to speak to ourselves and others.
It is truly unlike any book Ive ever read,

Look past the editorial distractions of first and third person point of view shifts, for they are not perfectly constructed, Continue past the beginning plot, Catherines ordeal is glaring and painful and difficult, Read on because you will be rewarded with a lush and luxurious story, developed and fruitful, deep and melancholically beautiful,

I received this book from Destiny herself, and wasnt sure how I would feel about the novel when I first started.
As a book reviewer, however, I am pledged to objectivity and I was rewarded for persisting past the parts that would normally turn me away.
The words, the characters, the immense story, won me over, I could hardly set it aside at the end, Like a true artist, Destiny Kinal amazed me with her raw talent, I eagerly await the next installment of the Duladiers story in the Textile Trilogy, I was imagining a kind of a dry historical fiction about the textile industry, and boy was I wrong, This book is brimming with sexual energy throughout and explicit sexual imagery, Kinal flows easily back and forth between the passion of sex, the passion of emotion and the passion religious fervor, She has a great sense for the physical and biological, and somehow makes the practicalities of the silk industry and the biology of the silk worm all seem sexy and dramatic.
And of course the book is female centered and focused on empowered women trying to shape history, Worse book I've read in along time, could not finish it! Burning Silk, the debut novel by Destiny Kinal, is a sensual adventure that begins where textiles and fragrances interlace among the women at the helm of a new silk enterprise in the craftsmaking community of Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
In this forgotten chapter of history, saliva and silkworms are the tools of industry and women must struggle to wrest the dominion of their business from the hands of men.
The first in a trilogy, Burning Silk introduces the saga of the Duladier House of Silk through the tale of its youngest maitresse, Catherine, during her migration from France to expand her familys business to the New World.
Catherine must protect both her silkworms and herself from parfumiers out to exploit the fragrance of passion, all the while struggling to uphold her role as the head of her magnanerie against a personal secret that threatens to unravel everything.


Burning Silk is a novel infused with eroticism, which explores family, gender, love, dishonesty, and the risk that others might recognize something in us that we will not.
Kinal spins a story richly woven with the history of silk guilds and of the matrilineal Native American metis, and, as the transformations of her characters come to parallel the metamorphoses of the moths, a profound analogy about what it really means to be a woman.
