King of Morning, Queen of Day by Ian McDonald (May 1991)
Requirements: ePUB Reader | 990 Kb
Overview: Three generations of women share a mysterious power — one that threatens to destroy them...
In early-twentieth-century Ireland, life for Emily Desmond is that of the average teenage girl: She reads, she’s bored with school, and she has a powerful imagination. Then things begin to change. Her imagination is so powerful, in fact, that she wills a faerie into existence — an ability called mytho-consciousness. It’s this power that opens a dangerous door that she will never want to close, and whose repercussions will reverberate across time.
First to be affected is her daughter, Jessica, who, in the mid-1930s, finds that she must face her mother’s power by using the very same gift against her. Then, in the near future, Jessica’s granddaughter, Enye, must end the cycle once and for all — but it may prove too powerful to overcome.

Winner of the Philip K. Dick Award and the Prix Imaginales.
"The dangerous allure of the faerie lover manifests itself through three generations of women in this tour-de-force by the author of Desolation Road. The spirits that haunt Ireland's Bridestone Wood first claim Emily Desmond in the early 1900s; in the 1930s, working girl Jessica Caldwell follows the man of her dreams into a dreamlike world; and in the near future, writer Enye MacColl battles the invisible forces of faerie. McDonald's power as a storyteller lies in his stylistic versatility and intensity of language as well as in his capacity to create vivid and memorable characters. Highly recommended." ~Library Journal
