Hypnotic

There is something otherworldly about this book. Somehow, Marilyn Singer seems to have reached into the psyche of young women and touched on many of the images and ideas which silently haunt us-- the unexplainable bond between women and horses, the growing rift between mother and daughter, and the struggle for an identity being a few. Singer seemlessly blends all the themes relevant to us in a powerful orginial tale as beautiful as the tapestry on the cover. This is an amazing story. ( And no, it is not a sappy love story or a weak fantasy novel. This is an unrecognized treasure. )

Awesome!

This book has been sitting on my shelf for more than 5 years...finally I picked it up and read it! But I couldn't put it down...it was a little slow at first but it was so AWESOME! I love how the book was written and everything....maybe a better ending! Like Jessica found a horse you acted and looked just like Gabdon! I don't know! But it was just sooooooo koooll!

Totally awesome!

This is an incredible story about a girl, a boy, a horse, and two very different times inseperably linked by a tapestry. I found it browsing through the library, and was caught by the title, because it sounded like a "fantasy" book, and i love fantasy (and horses). It was definitely worth reading, and I've read it many times since then, and have been looking for a copy to buy. I reccommend this book to anyone who has the perserverance to find it!

absolutely wonderful story

I found this book perusing through the paperback juvenile fiction section of the library, and since I was into horses at the time, picked it up. I didn't put it down til I had finished it some time later. This is an absolutely wonderful story incorporating the love between friends, adventure, finding out who you are, a wicked queen, magic, and a tapestry that ties it all together. Since that time in the library, someone "lost" their book, so I'm still hoping to find a copy of my own sometime soon..
