If you think I waited two years for this novel, you are mistaken. I have waited my entire life for a tale of this caliber. ‘Eirdon’ is a masterpiece of writing and storytelling. Seldom does an avid reader discover a sequence of novels written by a supremely talented author where the characters are consistent within the storyline, yet evolve in a plausibly unpredictable manner to mature realistically within each novel’s timeframe. “The Weaving Man’ and ‘Love and Sacrifice’ set the stage for the premiere of Tove Foss Ford’s third novel, ‘Eirdon’.
‘Eirdon’ is a far-reaching novel of triumph and tragedy where the reader is swept along the swift current of deft prose and deepening emotional involvement with each character. Within the pages rests a narrative of nail-biting suspense, laughter-evoking humor, and moments of misfortune which induce unanticipated tears. However, don’t deceive yourself into believing that this is a simple superficial tale, far from it. The writer’s prose and expansive storyline carries a deceiving depth with each characterization and turn of the plot. As a reader, it the complexity and genuine nature of the character interactions within novel which rewards the reader’s investment within the tale. In the end, ‘Eirdon’ strikes a familiar chord which resonates within our own heart to prompt further examination long after the last page has been turned. It is that haunting chord which reveals the true depth of the entire series of novels.
As an older adult and parent of adult children, I find that each of the novels accurately mirrors the stages, emotions, decisions, humor, and tragedy borne out of the experience within our own growth process along life’s timeline. ‘Eirdon’, with gentle prose, allows the reader to appreciate the outcome of our youthful and mid-life decisions made as a parent by expanding the story’s scope to encompass an entire world with lives being touched by those earlier self-same decisions; our children are the pebble tossed into life’s pond.
The expansion of scope within the framework of ‘Eirdon’ encourages the reader to examine our own human interactions within the ‘real’ world surrounding us as our lives continue to unfold. How unique it is to live in a world filled with ‘self-help’ books, only to find that a fictional novel’s narrative and storyline provides better guidance for navigating life’s daunting issues. Perchance we have a moment of decision where we can choose either indifference or compassion, cruelty or kindness, attention or apathy; we discover that we too are a pebble in life’s pond.

It’s all in the details!
Tove Foss Ford is such an amazing author! I loved the first two books in this series so much that I have reread them several times already. I had a deep fear of not seeing more when she had challenges in life, as we all do! I was wonderfully surprised when the third book popped up on my list! Thank the Gods! This book is just as brilliant as the last two! The details in which Tove never forgets weaves a very relatable story, even with the magic and the sorrow. It is relatable on a very real level. I love her! I love her writing style! Give me more please!

Loved it! I can not express how much reading these books have meant to me. Tove's writing is just so easy to read; the pages literally fly by. And the story never stalls or runs out of gas. And the characters are all so different from each (other authors could really learn from these books how to make many wildly different characters!), and they are really good people, all of them, each in their own way. The author truly handles sensitive issues elegantly and honestly - it really meant a lot to me. Thank you for creating this world and filling it with these people.

I don't even know what to say. This book was incredible. I LOVED the first two but this was something really special. It was very, very long, but there was a never a time when it lagged or I thought that the author could have really been less wordy. I thought that a lot when I've read books that were more than 700 pages. I laughed, I cried, and just longed for more. I'm so looking forward to book four! Thank you Ms. Ford.
