Lyn Ravenshaw's world was devastated several years ago
when her son died at birth. Her job as a literary agent
keeps her busy, despite the dreams that plague her
nights. This Christmas, one of the writers she
represents, Bridget Cooper, insists that Lyn accompany
her to South Wales. Bridget is spending the holidays with
another writer, James Swift, and suggests that James may
be looking for a new agent. However, something is awry in
Angle as Lyn finds herself in a world where dreams of the
past seem to mirror the current day and everyone is
suspect. Will she trust her heart?
One of the trademarks of any Susanna Kearsley story is
her phenomenal ability to depict the setting so vividly
you feel as if you are actually there. NAMED OF THE
DRAGON features the setting of Angle, located in the
Pembrokeshire part of Wales. I absolutely love how
Susanna Kearsley paints us a picture of the town, from
the shopping trips to the castles, as we see the
juxtaposition of past and present in the town so clearly.
In fact, it is the setting that makes NAMED OF THE DRAGON
work so well. The dream-like ambiance works perfectly as
the story unfolds. Susanna Kearsley weaves in Welsh
mythology and various poems to craft a tale that is quite
enchanting.
Susanna Kearsley also does a marvelous job with character
development. The interplay between all of the characters
is entertaining, especially as we watch Bridget flit from
one man to the next. However, I particularly love how
Susanna Kearsley builds the tension between Lyn and
Gareth Gwyn Morgan, another writer currently residing in
Angle.
NAMED OF THE DRAGON is another beautiful tale from the
eloquent pen of Susanna Kearsley. Susanna Kearsley
continues to amaze me with her exquisite depictions of
the various locales she takes us to and NAMED OF THE
DRAGON adds a dream-like quality to the mix. Any tale by
Susanna Kearsley is always easily recommended!
A haunting tale of intrigue from New York Times bestselling
author Susanna Kearsley.
SOMEWHERE IN THE HEART OF LEGEND
LIES THE KEY TO HER TERRIFYING DREAMS
The charm of spending the Christmas holidays in South Wales,
with its crumbling castles and ancient myths, seems the
perfect distraction from the nightmares that have plagued
literary agent Lyn Ravenshaw since the loss of her baby five
years ago.
Instead, she meets an emotionally fragile young widow who's
convinced that Lyn's recurring dreams have drawn her to
Castle Farm for an important purpose--and she's running out
of time.
With the help of a reclusive, brooding playwright, Lyn
begins to untangle the mystery and is pulled into a world of
Celtic legends, dangerous prophecies, and a child destined
for greatness.
