She lives near Asheville, North Carolina, where she plays in a jobbing rock band, and works part-time at a vintage record store. Thirty-something and spinning wheels she seems doomed to smoke and drink herself into an early grave, until one day she receives a mysterious journal - apparently from a long-lost Scottish ancestor, the Reverend Robert Kirk, a 17th Century minister obsessed with Fairy Lore. Assailed by supernatural forces, she is forced to act - to journey to Scotland to lay to rest the ghost of Kirk and to accept the double-edged gift she has inherited, the gift of Second Sight: the Knowing. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\"A remarkable book about the perils of faery, the even greater perils of possessing the Second Sight - the Knowing of the title - and a more than surface account of the lore of the faery themselves. Kevan Manwaring is a skilful storyteller and his knowledge of the subject goes deep. This is no light heated, twee faerytale - as so many books about the subject prove to be - but a serious excursion into the Otherworld. It's fast paced, inventive enough to hold the attention, and has a strong, believable set of characters - especially the heroine, who walks off the page again and again. For all those fascinated by faery, by the ancient and mysterious world of the Celts - this is for you. \" \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eJohn Matthews: author Fairylands and The Secret Life of Elves and Fairies. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781919167831\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kevan Manwaring","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53414648021299,"sku":"9781919167831","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/3636\/7411\/files\/9781919167831.jpg?v=1780294426","url":"https:\/\/bookabaloo.com\/products\/the-knowing","provider":"Bookabaloo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
