Hiram Woolley is chosen to take supplies to the miners and finds that more is needed than just a little food. He must confront the monster below and free the Teacum family from its influence. The risk if he is found out to be a cunning man could cost him his life in his church and friends. Well written, good character development, interesting setting. ( ) Is there a negative star rating? The dialogue is terrible, the plot is exposition - all talk (poorly written talk) and no show. I got this because it was a fantasy (as in sf-f) set in Utah. The author(s) knowledge of the COJCLDS (LDS) is minimal and probably gathered from a lesser version of wikipedia. At least they don't kill the only Indigenous character. Great cover art for this edition. Avoid this book unless you want to read what not to do. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
"A witch is someone whose craft is malevolent, someone who curses you. A cunning man is the person who is master of the lore necessary to defend you against witches, and against other evil powers. Hiram is also a widower and a beet farmer, who learned his occult lore from his Grandma Hettie. Grandma Hettie raised Hiram on her farm; she said her prayers in German, sang the Psalms to secret melodies, and knew the special properties of stones. In the 1930s, with the western United States sunk in deep depression, Hiram and his adopted son try to help the poor-delivering food, helping the unemployed find jobs, digging out collapsed wells, and settling family disputes. Behind the played-out farms and failed businesses, Hiram finds demons, curses, sorcerers, and unatoned wrongs. Bags of groceries and carpentry won't be enough-to truly help the poor, Hiram will have to turn to Grandma Hettie's magic"-- No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
