This story jumps on the current mythology trend (see Madeline Miller's books!) and is a loose retelling of an old British murder ballad called The Twa Sisters .
It is set in an ancient British kingdom abandoned by the Romans and in constant fear of attack by the Saxons. Three Sisters are trying to come to terms with their identity and their own magic, which is threatened by the advent of Christianity. The focus is set on the different paths the sisters decide to take and the tragedies that result thereof.
Of the three sisters Keyne is my favorite - I rooted for her all through the plot. Who is yours?!
Die Bücher, die Benjamin Lacombe illustriert sind Meisterwerke. Anders kann man es nicht sagen. Er versteht es, Geschichten in so zauberhafte und gleichzeitig düstere Gewänder zu kleiden, dass man aus dem Staunen nicht mehr herauskommt. Auch "Alice im Wunderland", das schon so oft und so unterschiedlich in Szene gesetzt wurde, erscheint unter seiner Feder noch einmal neu und unglaublich originell. Ein Muss für alle Fans besonderer Illustrationen ab 9.
