***Solstice Woodby Patricia A. McKillip Reviewed December 17, 2006.
Ace Books, When Sylvia’s
Gram summons
her home for her grandfather’s funeral, Gram ignores the fact that
Sylvia is
determined never again to live at Lynn Hall. Sylvia
knows that eventually the people of that community
will recognize
the magic inside her—that her unknown father was fay. She learns
that many people
are hiding secrets. Someone who is
supposed to protect the hall from fairies makes secret trysts with one
of
them. A whole Fabric Guild of respectable
women of the community exists to keep the fairies in their own
realm—there are
so many openings in and around Lynn Hall. And
when there is a burial, it is hard to keep them shut. Will Sylvia
be able to become
the new owner of Lynn Hall in spite of who she is?
This is a fairy tale with a sinister twist to
it. What if fairies really existed? How would people relate to them? Reviews of other books by Patricia McKillip: The Changeling Sea Kingfisher Copyright © 2006 Sondra Eklund. All
