Synopsis

She was the daughter of a preacher and a gypsy. A strange and elusive child with powers of prophecy, she grew into an even stranger woman. From those around her she inspired love and admiration or furious hatred. Nothing in between. And somehow Jassy could transform even those who loved her into her enemies. Barney Hatton, the dispossessed heir of Mortiboys, loved her but not enough. Lindy, a girl who worked there, loved her too much. Elizabeth Twysdale, who taught Jassy her lessons, hated her more with every passing day. And because of the people around her, the people who loved or loathed her, Jassy’s life was destined to be one of passion and anguish.

Still one of my favorite authors. It never fails -- when I pick up one of her dusty old books in a used book store, I know I'm going to be up until 3am many nights in a row. Her characterization and ability to capture a time in history is exquisite.......more
