Enjoy a beautiful evening among friends, savor some Romanian history and listen to the author reading excerpts from her books. Our gracious host for the evening also promises some surprises.
Simona Huber’s “The Path of the Fairies” is unlike any historical fiction you have read or movies you have watched set in the time of the Roman Empire.
Yes, there is an invading Roman army, with a haughty Roman commander, and there are vivid battles and cunning strategic maneuvers. And yes, there
is a brave barbarian general leading his soldiers against the arrogant Roman militia.
These familiar plot elements, skillfully written and packed with surprises, are found within a book that is gentle, and full of heart and beauty. The
teenage fraternal twins introduced in the beginning evolve during the pages into complex, admirable adults not due to fighting Romans, but due to
experiencing life. These two characters make “The Path of the Fairies” an excellent YA pick, although its audience is far wider.
Nature itself, and specifically the kingdom of the Dacians (present-day Romania) is itself a character, and the rich and frequent descriptions make it
easy to understand why its citizens would die to defend their homeland from the Roman invaders. By the end of the book, after fierce battles and
heart-breaking prices paid for what is clearly only a temporary victory against the Romans, the reader is heavily invested in the Dacian kingdom, its
new king, and its people. A second book in this series will be welcome.
