But a golden apple has appeared out of season in a walled off orchard and a new chance has come around to make everything right or to lose everything for good. But who will eat the golden apple, and will it be in time? Appleton is cut off from the outside world and the mists are rolling in. Ghosts are stirring and old things are coming back to prey on the living. Well, that might make it sound like more of a horror than it really is. The book is a slow burn, until two thirds of the way through when the weirdness really takes off. It's more creepy and strange and atmospheric as three women search for love or lust and trace the story of the island the people who lived on it, all leading to the peculiar situation our heroines find themselves in. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
'Lisa Tuttle is a subtle and clever writer whose fantasy deals with the world we all believe we have sensed from time to time out of the corners of our eyes.' Michael Moorcock Appleton is a small town nestled on the coast of Scotland. Though it was once famous for the apples it produced, these days it's a shadow of its former self. But in a hidden orchard a golden apple dangles from a silver bough, an apple believed lost for ever. The apple is part of a legend, promising either eternal happiness to the young couple who eat from it secure in their love - or a curse, for those who take its gift for granted. Now, as the town teeters on the edge of decline, the old rituals have been forgotten and the mists are rolling in. And in the mist, something is stirring . . .
