OLDER FICTION
Gardner, Sally

The Red Necklace

(2) YA Gardner (I, Coriander) evokes pre-revolutionary Paris's growing frenzy. Yann is a young itinerant magician; Sido, a young heiress. Both capture the unwanted attention of powerful Count Kalliovski. Omniscient narration brings in a Parisian theater owner and a dwarf magician, among others. Vivid historical re-creation intersperses with sometimes breathless adventure and prophetic Romany magic in this tale of loyalty and courage.
