Mirna Z. (otherworldgirl) reviewed on
Kushner's Mythopoeic Fantasy Award-winning novel adapts the ballad of True Thomas into a wonderful medieval fantasy about an ambitious young bard who falls in love with a feisty village girl, but allows himself to be seduced by the elf queen. Forced to spend seven years in her kingdom, never speaking except in song, upon his return he finds a changed world... and bears the curious gift (or curse) of always speaking the truth. Can an artist always be truthful? Can any man?
