-From Layered Pages-
Thank you Lisl for such a wonderfully comprehensive review!
Here's my favourite bit:
Nancy Jardine has woven a tale as complex as the
Celtic knot that graces the book’s cover. Winding and illusory, readers may see
one circumstance, but events intercede to disabuse us of any notion that this
is a simple story. The endless and unified nature of the cover illustration
reflects the events occurring in the lives of those in The Beltane Choice,
individually and as humans who experience these occasions across time. And, like the winding knot that appears as
sheer simplicity but is much more beneath, the smooth passage from Nara’s entrapment by the
boar to her ultimate choice, the author utilizes language in a way both
straightforward and elegant.
