Lovely insight into the world of Dies Irae
Lisa Hofmann’s word painting transported me immediately into the world of Mary and the Fair. I felt the biting cold of winter, the melancholy of loss, and Mary’s resignation as Calum appears. But Calum is an optimistic child, and there is hope for his future. Beautifully told, highly recommended.
