A meeting of the present and the past

Wheel of Stars has a variety of interesting themes-- a mysterious house and its mysterious inmates, standing stones with ancient Ogham carvings, reincarnation... Librarian Gwennan is caught up in these ancient mysteries when she meets the current owners of the old Lyle residence-- regal Lady Lyle and the disturbing and young Tor Lyle. As Gwennan acquires a friendship with Lady Lyle and something rather less with Tor, their secrets become drawn in with her own fascination with the standing stones. An ancient struggle between evil and good-- but which is which? Gwennan, with her diluted Lyle blood and some uncertain powers can tip the precarious balance in either's favor...but either way has serious consequences. Quite enjoyable, really. If you liked L'Engle's An Acceptable Time, Wheel of Stars will probably appeal.

Nice mystery...a change of pace.

I have an '84 edition of this book as well as this one. It is well written and enjoyable and quite different from other books she has done even though it is in the same genre. I enjoyed it a lot. I think you will too.
