Attualmente non vi sono conversazioni su questo libro. see http://www.sfsite.com/04b/hw79.htm ( ) An interesting story that follows a modern day girl in Newfoundland to a mirror-world of Avalon. The Celtic myth is well weaved as the girl makes her journey. The fading from one world to the next is fascinating. This reviewer had a bit of trouble with the last two chapters where Christian myth begins to intrude upon the wonderful Celtic (and older) myths. The Epilogue was disappointing because: ***SPOILER*** The estranged father comes to Newfoundland and takes the girl back to the "big city" when she so obviously found living in Newfoundland much better. To me, after getting to know this character, she seems too easily led back to the place where she had only bad memories. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Maeve is disgruntled and depressed when she is sent for the summer to her aunt's house in Newfoundland while her parents try to work out problems in their marriage and careers. But she does enjoy Newfoundland's rustic charms and the closeness she feels there to her favourite grandmother, now dead. Maeve's grandmother was the author of a fantastic book about the secret world of Annwn and Maeve is delighted to discover her grandmother's diary and a beautiful Celtic brooch that was stored with it. Then something strange begins to happen, something that convinces Maeve she is leaving Newfoundland, and in no ordinary fashion. Before long, Maeve finds herself in the Hidden World, a place she is sure her grandmother has visited too, a place that is alive with magic and danger. As she struggles to help her new-found friends in Annwn and unravel the mystery of her grandmother's time there, she finds herself immersed in a world of legend, where Celtic myths, tales of the sea and the secrets of Avalon come together in a fantastic and horrifying way.
