Book Reviews of Veil of Gold, The
Book Review: Adventure with a Russian Twist
Summary: 4 Stars
"The Autumn Castle" is an amazing novel from one of Australia's best authors.
Storywise, she combines European folklore and mythology with contemporary influences into a charming, hypnotic tale of search and rescue through time and space. A golden bear leads the way to the storied past of Russia inhablited by entities more at home in Grimms' Fairy Tales than modern day Russia. Daniel St Clair's love, Rosa Kovalenka, goes searching for him and encounters her past and the guidance of a wanderer with more mystery than answers.
Truly, this is a novel far removed from the usual fantasy realm, yet it beckons to a time before fairy tales were replaced by modern day mythologies.
Outstanding!
