Product DescriptionFormat: Trade PaperbackPublished: July 16, 2002 Publisher: Tor Books Charles de Lints stunning new novel of magic and danger in the modern world in novel after novel, and story after story, Charles de Lint has brought an entire imaginary North American city to vivid life. Newford: where magic lights dark streets; where myths walk clothed in modern shapes; where a broad cast of extraordinary and affecting people work to keep the whole world turning. At the center of all the entwined lives of Newford stands a young artist named Jilly Coppercorn, with her tangled hair, her paint-splattered jeans, a smile perpetually on her lipsJilly, whose paintings capture the hidden beings that dwell in the city's shadows. Now, at last, de Lint tells Jillys own story... for behind the painters fey charm lies a dark secret and a past shes labored to forget. And that past is coming to claim her now. I'm the onion girl, Jilly Coppercorn says. Pull back the layers of my life, and you wont find anything at the core. Just a broken child. A hollow girl. Shes very, very good at running. But life has just forced Jilly to stop. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Charles De Lint lives in Ottawa, Canada. His evocative novels, including Moonheart, Forests of the Heart, and The Onion Girl, have earned him a devoted following and critical acclaim as a master of contemporary magical fiction in the manner of storytellers like John Crowley, Jonathan Carroll, Alice Hoffman, and Ray Bradbury. FROM THE CRITICS "De Lint is a romantic; he believes in the great things, faith, hope, and charity (especially if love is included in that last), but he also believes in the power of magic-or at least the magic of fiction-to open our eyes to a larger world." --"Edmonton Journal" "In de Lint''s capable hands, modern fantasy becomes something other than escapism. It becomes folk song, the stuff of urban myth." --"The Phoenix Gazette" Find out why we love this member... |
