The language alone is enough to recommend this book. Difficult to describe, a very unique story. It is moody, etherial, mystical.

This is a retelling of the ballad "Tam Lin." Honestly, I can't say I was really drawn into the story - though I did really feel for the protagonist - but the writing is so poetic and beautiful, I couldn't help but enjoy reading it, and I now hope to read more of the author's work.
