"Medieval.Magical.Moving...Read It!" Anthony Valentine, Actor, UK --Anthony Valentine, Actor, UK

What an absolute joy it was to read this book! Gabriella is set in a different time and place andI found myself identifying and sympathizing with her whole heartedly through her journey. The sense of pace that Ms. Malloy has provided is emotionally generous and takes you on a journey of self discovery, where I found myself rooting for the main character with tears and laughter! She sets the story in an amazing backdrop that she so clearly describes I see it before me, andfeel like I am taking an unknown path to great adventures myself, both scary and beautiful at the same time. To be able to relate to Gabriella, who, with so many obstacles to overcome, inspires me to put my own head up and face some of my own fears. How wonderful to see her embrace what is thrown at her and keep going. Meeting the next challenge and then the next. Her world is astounding in it's beauty and the depth of it's dangers, and I felt like I saw it all, experiencing a world so different than my own and yet so much the same! Cannot wait for Ms. Malloy's next book, I am totally hooked, this writer is enormously giftedand shares a spirit of a warmth and insight rarely seen on the pages of a book! Bravo!

Présentation de l'éditeur

Gabriella is a mythical tale about a girl-child, born with a sacred wound and a destiny to fulfil. It is the story of not only her courage, but also the courage of all those who choose to see past her obvious deformity and focus on the immense light that shines within her. Having been born into a rigid, fearful society, Gabriella's Mother flees from the Land of Never Forgetting to save her daughter's life. Gabriella not only survives, but she continues her journey, far past the seeming limits of her creation, crossing the River of Dreams and ultimately arriving at the base of the Mountain of Remembrance. As she makes her way through its strange and mysterious landscape on her climb to the summit, she must face six enormous challenges, which test her to her limits and ultimately teach her the greatest lessons of her life; lessons of courage, truth, wisdom, love, expression and inner vision.With each new discovery, she miraculously receives the gift of a brilliantly coloured touchstone and, together, these reveal a hidden mystery, which transforms not only Gabriella, but her world. Allegorical, filled with symbol and hidden meaning, Gabriella is lyrical and expressive, often feeling like a story, which, long-lost, has been rediscovered.
