Waldensong Saturnalia: Tribute to the Mythic Years

by A.D. Morvaye

Shifting between Old Europe, the Orient and the New World, and spanning almost a century, this fictive journey traces the fortunes of the Hermans and the Morvayes, united and divided by love and hatred, betrayal and revenge, war and peace, time and history. Honouring their memories in light and in shadow, Waldensong Saturnalia restores the scattered shard fragments of their lives. Gospel-legend recreated by latter-day evangelist A.D. Morvaye.

I find myself struggling to grasp the proliferation of characters and their genealogies as they migrate from place to place, not always chronologically...
