When Alison traces the pattern from an old dinner service, she discovers it makes up the shape of an owl. But in releasing the design from the plates, she unleashes an ancient Welsh myth that tries to give itself new life in her, her step-brother Roger and their friend Gwyn.
Unexplained noises coming from everywhere and nowhere; uncertain tensions between friends and families; something is stirring... Alan Garner's award-winning story is a reimagining of a tale from the Mabinogion, in a landscape where the past is present at every turn but can only be faced by three contemporary teenagers. Thrilling and beautiful, The Owl Service will resonate with you for years to come.

Bewertet: Buch (Taschenbuch)
an impressionistic tale of three teens reenacting a deadly eternal triangle in a welsh village. strange yearnings and mysterious motivations are anchored by enjoyably prosaic dialogue, the oddly off-kilter use of slang, and a sharp but subtle sense of warfare between the classes. a nicely clean and uncluttered narrative. one of the many endearing parts of this novel is the realization that the patterns of history and destiny that drive the characters forward are being reflected in the flowery patterns found on dinner plates and wallpaper. another charming thing: magical paper cut-outs of owls! but lest you think this is a cute story for tweens, know that the yarn being spun is one rooted in tragedy, violent possessiveness, and eternal regret. and it is a very mystical novel despite all of the expertly-done 'ordinariness
