WATERS LUMINOUS AND DEEP
“A true storyteller’s voice resounds
throughout these tales, half of which
are published for the first time here.
As Pierce indicates in her introduction,
water figures in all of the stories as
demon, obstacle, or savior. The intricate
thread of each selection will securely tie
up readers’ imagination and hold it to
the end…a rich and rewarding collection
that will appeal to a wide audience.”
