This tale of four fey sisters is "a golden slice of British rural fantasy in the tradition of Diana Wynne Jones and Tanith Lee. . . . I loved it" (Paul Cornell, New York Times-bestselling author of Witches of Lychford). Levelheaded Bee still lives at Mooncote, the family home in Somerset, where she has an unconventional boyfriend of whom her sisters are unaware. Stella, a DJ who's just done some gigs in Ibiza, has vowed never to return to Mooncote after a row with Bee. Single mother and fashion designer Serena lives in Notting Hill with growing doubts about her relationship with her longtime boyfriend, a rock musician. And Luna, the youngest, is a wanderer living out of a horse-drawn van while she follows a trail of horse fairs across the country. The four Fallow sisters are scattered like the four winds. But now, with the comet due, they're drawn back together, united in their desire to find their mother, free-spirited Alys, who disappeared a year ago. They have help, of course, from the star spirits and the no-longer-living, but such advice tends to be cryptic and is hardly the most dependable of guides . . . "In Comet Weather, Liz Williams has crafted something marvellous. This is a book full of wonder, horror, love, heartbreak, strangeness, and a gorgeously evoked sense of time and place. Between one page and the next you'll be laughing out loud, then shivering to your bones." --Alastair Reynolds, award-winning author of Eversion and Revelation Space "This quick-witted and intriguing contemporary fantasy is fresh and original, while also harking back to the mythology of the English landscape and the classic literature that has inspired. A many-faceted delight." --Juliet E. McKenna, author of the Green Man series "A perfect pleasure to read. Think [Neil] Gaiman: imagination enriched with history, culture, geography, astronomy and archaeology, and a dash of romance." --Aurealis "One of the most affecting and accomplished fantasy novels of the year so far." --Locus "Mesmerizing." --SciFi Mind… (meer)
This is the Early Reviewer Book I won in February. I really enjoyed it. It reminds me of Riley's sister series, different, equivalent, even better because it's not as glamorous. It has charm typical of England. 4 women, 4 sisters, a missing mother, herbs, bees, talking trees... a touch of magical realism ., the ingredients for a well-upholstered story written with a warm pen. By far the best book I ever won with ER. Highly recommended for those looking for pleasant and meaningful (holiday) literature Lees ook: https://locusmag.com/2020/06/gary-k-wolfe-reviews-comet-weather-by-liz-williams/.... ( )
