Der Traumstein

by Liane Jones

What was the strange and powerful connection between Jane Pridden, a beautiful young 1990s woman from North Dakota, now in sophisticated New York--and Ceinwen, a young girl from a twelfth-century Welsh village?

How was Jane's intense erotic affair with Gwyn Thomas, a poet from Wales, linked with Ceinwen's passionate union with a Welsh prince who sailed with his people to create a legendary settlemen in the American wilds?

What dark menace shadowed them both--in an epic quest that spanned two continents...and a haunting and haunted love that bridged eight centuries, causing past and present to collide...?

Gave up halfway through. The time slip from early 1990s NY to medieval Wales was intriguing, but the plot dragged, I couldn’t keep track (and frankly didn’t care to) of the many Welsh characters in Madoc’s timeline, and I also felt the writing wasn’t particularly good: “The bus engine roared, loud and smelly.” My god.

The relationships in this book were incredibly toxic and abusive. I couldn’t take anymore.

Interesting read took sometime to get into this book but the ending was not expected.
