Praise for A Song for Arbonne "One of those books you wish would never end. A thoughtful, literate adventure filled with rich details and vivid characters, high drama and graceful prose."-- San Francisco Chronicle "For anyone who appreciates that rarest of literary treasures: the ideal novel."--Charles de Lint "Rarely has a book come along that fulfils on so many levels...Kay skillfully and lyrically paints a portrait of a land and the human hearts that inhabit it."-- The Palm Beach Post "A novel of epic sweep and panoramic romance provides a sensual and stirring feast for readers."-- South Bend Tribune "Based on the troubadour culture that rose in Provence...this panoramic, absorbing novel beautifully creates an alternate version of the medieval world...a vivid world of love and music, magic and death."-- Publishers Weekly More Praise for the Novels of Guy Gavriel Kay "[Read] anything by Guy Gavriel Kay...His strengths are strong characters and fantastic set pieces."-- The New Yorker "Kay shows why he's the heir to Tolkien's tradition."-- Booklist "History and fantasy rarely come together as gracefully or readably as they do in the novels of Guy Gavriel Kay."-- The Washington Post Book World "Kay is a genius.

It is a sumptuous feast of storytelling, a beautifully written tale with a beating, breaking heart at its core that will have readers in tears by its final pages."-- Globe and Mail (Canada) "Historical fantasy of the highest order, the work of a man who may well be the reigning master of the form."-- The Washington Post Book World, Praise for A Song for Arbonne "One of those books you wish would never end.

Synopsis
From the critically-acclaimed author of The Fionavar Tapestry comes an epic fantasy novel of love, both courtly and forbidden, and two kingdoms endlessly opposed... Blaise of Gorhaut is a warrior. He fought for his king and country, until the king died with an arrow in his eye at the battle of Iersen Bridge, and a dishonorable treaty ceded a good part of his country to foreign hands. He has broken relations with his father, adviser to the king of Gorhaut, and abandoned the use of his family name. Now, Blaise is a mercenary. He never expected to work for the lords of Arbonne, the warm, fertile lands south of Gorhaut, whose people praise the love of women--they even worship a goddess, instead of the god. They are a soft people, or so he thought. But for all their nonsense about love, their troubadours and songs, they will fight for their country, when invasion comes from the north.

- o***a (54)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI thought I was ordering a paper back, especially considering the price was only around $10. I'm not sure if they shipped a hard cover by mistake. But I am more than happy to accept it. The description wasn't clear on what it was. So this could very well have been the intended item. I was not very impressed with their customer service at all. It took them days to respond and they didn't seem to care about the delay in shipping. I might purchase again, but I would be cautious as it was delayed.
- r***1 (182)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThe book was exactly as described and arrived quickly. The only problem is a recurring one with this seller and other similar sellers - the book is poorly packaged in a plastic envelope and gets heavily bumped in shipping. I would like to see the books wrapped before shipment, but I understand this can't be done for cost reason. Luckily it isn't an expensive book, and I will continue to purchase basic books from this seller. A+++++
