Priscilla and her Books

Written in the first person narrative, this hauntingly beautiful tale tells the story of Oren Gale, a musician who seeks his muse, Cybilla. Gale has loved this beautiful woman since the moment she first came to his dream.

Gale desperately searches for her, struggling to bring her back to the mortal world. He then crossed paths with many colourful characters like the daughters of the water, Kira and Dia, Janus, the old gentleman and Carmenta, the oracle.

The story behind Cybilla ia astonishing, not what I had expected. Haig’s lyrical, powerful prose will leave you wanting more.

What I like best about the short story is that Gale is a remarkable character. Even though he had his future stolen, he remained upbeat. Instead of being whiny and bitter, he-to phrase from the book-turned around and shared the water of life with a stranger.

Memorable quote from Cybilla:

Oh hope, you are a fragile thing.

I received this book in exchange of my honest review.
