Myth and History: Sandra Ireland, Anna Mazzola, Mary Paulson Ellis

When stories are told and years pass, truths and legends can twist until one can’t be distinguished from the other. In the hands of skilled storytellers such as these, the tapestry they produce can be beguiling, unsettling and dangerous to know. Can a long-dead warrior queen really be the key to a modern-day death in Sandra Ireland’s The Unmaking of Ellie Rook? Are mythical spirits responsible for the abduction of young girls on Skye in Anna Mazzola’s The Story Keeper? And what secrets lie in an old soldier’s past in The Inheritance of Solomon Farthing by Mary Paulson-Ellis? Nothing is quite what it seems.
