Product Description

Review

'In this 1940s rural scene you glimpse the shadow behind all things bright and beautiful.' -- David Hughes, Daily Mail 'Anyone who enjoys a gentle, modern love story will find a cracker in Thornyhold' -- Woman's World 'Skeins of sentences are woven into a tale of sweet magic, witchcraft and suspense ... which will perpetuate Mrs Stewart's bestsellerdom and confirm her status as a literary phenomenon' -- Scotland on Sunday --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Product Description

Thornyhold is a house deep in a wild wood like somewhere out of a fairy tale. Inheriting it is the beginning of a fairy tale for Gilly Ramsey. With the house she finds she is inheriting the mantle of her god-mother whose reputation was that of a wise-woman in a witch-infested region. Mary Stewart is author of the Merlin trilogy - 'The Crystal Cave', 'The Hollow Hills' and 'The Last Enchantment'. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars Magical, mystical with an element or realism, 13 Dec 2000
This review is from: Thornyhold (Coronet Books) (Paperback)
If you enjoy being transported to another world, you will enjoy this book. Mary Stuart very effectively creates an atmosphere like 'Greeneland' that you can almost sense. The main character, who because of her background stands a little apart from the world, inherits a cottage where she experiences 'white-witchy' type powers, comes to terms with them and evolves as an emotionally holistic person. She even ENJOYS keeping her cottage clean. The scene depicting her dream of flying and the consequent revelation of this 'out of body experience' is truely magicial.

What I particularly like about the book is Mary's ability to make this seem all part of the normal human experience. Her style reminded me a little of Mary Wesley, another favourite author.

The story depicts a 'right of passage', not for a teen, but for a woman, coming to terms with her past and her being. Very readable and unputadownable.

5.0 out of 5 stars A magical read, 28 Oct 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Thornyhold (Coronet Books) (Paperback)
This book is one of those rare romances that catches the imagination enough to read it more than once. A huge cut above the average from an excellent author.
