The ending seemed a bit weak (hence only 4 stars), but as always, Stewart weaves an atmospheric spell that I find quite addictive. I find her such an evocative writer, and much more interesting than the current fad of plunking a protagonist into a Pivotal Situation on page 1, with action-action-action all. the. time. ( ) I love a good gothic novel but don't love the dark themes that so many newer gothics carry. I really enjoyed Thornyhold because, while the story does contain a bit of witchcraftiness, it's seen to be a negative, even an ungodly, thing and the heroine keeps a pure heart. It's a simple story---a novella, really---and was a refreshing short read during a busy few days. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Gilly Ramsey's lonely childhood was brightened only by visits to her godmother until her death, when the grown-up Gilly inherits the family cottage, " Thornyhold." Set deep in a wild wood, with its magical and peaceful strength and its sovereign defenses against evil, Thornyhold is like something out of a fairy tale. The old house strikes an end to Gilly's bleak future, offering more than just a new home. It presents a chance to start over- despite its reputation for magic, history of witchcraft, and a resident black cat. This Gothic romance features sparkling prose, delightful characters, and classic intrigue. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
