King Ahaz accused my Master--the Seer of Tira-Nor, AlBear the Wise, the Merciful, Maker of Miracles and Potentate Secundi Propositum, etc--of high treason. King Ahaz said AlBear was to blame for the drought that ruined the city. He told everyone that my Master had bewitched the sun, that rain would not come again until the Seer gave the word. He called him, "AlBear the Accursed" and told the mice of Tira-Nor that he was using his unearthly powers to dry up the heavens, crack the earth, wither the berries of the Dark Forest, and throttle the neck of the White River. He even called my Master a foul prophet and tool of the ancient God, ElShua. King Ahaz was right.

Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • "Once upon a time, there was a woman who discovered that she had turned into the wrong person." The woman is Rebecca Davitch, a fifty-three-year-old grandmother. "You’ll want to turn back to the first chapter the moment you finish the last.” —PEOPLE On the surface, Beck, as she is known to the Davitch clan, is outgoing, joyous, a natural celebrator. Giving parties is, after all, her vocation—something she married into after Joe Davitch spotted her at an engagement party in his family’s crumbling nineteenth-century Baltimore row house, where giving parties was his family business. What caught Joe's fancy was that she seemed to be having such a wonderful time. Soon this large-spirited divorcé with three little girls swept Beck into his orbit, and before she knew it she was embracing his extended family—plus a child of their own—and hosting endless parties in the ornate, high-ceilinged rooms of The Open Arms. Now, some thirty years later, after presiding over a disastrous family party, Rebecca is caught un-awares by the question of who she really is. Is she an impostor in her own life? Is it indeed her own life? How she answers—how she tries to recover her girlhood self, that dignified grownup she had once been—is the story told in this beguiling, funny, and deeply moving novel.
