Forests of the Heart (Newford, #10)
by Charles de Lint
by Charles de Lint
This book didn't catch my attention as much as The Onion Girl did, but it was still fun to read. Charles De Lint's books, in my experience, have a very homey feel, people always dropping in on each other, going out for coffee or beers, having good food. And they're really about community, which I love. The actual story in this book was an interesting merging of Native American and Irish myth. What happens when Irish spirits come to the New World and have no home, no place of their own? Of course they come into conflict with the spirits already there and then the characters have to work to bring back some kind of balance. Like I said, my favorite part is the community, and the discussions of the characters. The actually plot is kind of slow and winding. But also fun, it's all fun. You'll like it if you like Joseph Campbell.
