The Shining Isle
Among us walk a race older than time-called the Travelers, Tuatha dŽ Dannan, the Sidhe, the Fair Folk, and the F‡'dh, they are the magical beings who remember when forests covered much of the earth and people revered the older gods and goddesses.
"The Shining Isle" is the story of Holly Tremenhere and the small island of Inishr'm. Holly was awakened to the mysteries at a young age, but could not cope with their seemingly alien reality and turned away from them. Now, disillusioned with the senselessness of day-to-day existence, she is ripe for change. Meanwhile, Inishr'm has been targeted for takeover by those who do not understand its significance. The isle and its inhabitants harbor an ancient secret-one they will fight to the death to keep safe.

Loved it, recommended for fans of Charles de Lint!

While it has some of the same problems as "The Quickening" (confusing characters, etc), it is the better of the two books I have read by this author. Still great for opening the mind to new ideas. Again, not easy to read and nearly locationless until you read the notes at the end.
