When Sara and Jamie discovered the artifacts, they sensed the pull of a dim, distant place, a world of misty forests, ancient magics, mythical beings, ageless bards...and restless evil.

Now, with their friends and enemies alike - Blue, the biker; Keiran, the folk musician; the inspector from the RCMP; and the mysterious Tom Hengyr - Sara and Jamie are drawn into this enchanted land through the portals of a sprawling downtown edifice that straddles two worlds.

From ancient Wales to the streets of Ottawa today, Moonheart entrances listeners with its tale of this world and the other one at the very edge of sight. A tale of music, motorcycles, and fey folk beyond the shadows of the moon, Moonheart is pure magic.

Critic reviews

"He shows that, far from being mere escapism, contemporary fantasy can be the deep mythic literature of our time." (Fantasy and Science Fiction)

The breadth of Charles de Lint's imagination & quality of his prose has been a stand out for over 40 years.
Moonheart is the start of his Newford / Tamsin House work & showcases just now absorbing & breath-taking his works can be.
I've read this several times in print & wanted to see what the audio book was like. I was not disappointed, but it is harder to stop & reread something that really hits home.

de Lint's amazing work is spectacular!!

This is the dullest book I’ve listened to for a long time, made more dull by the narrator who manages to flatten already pancake-like prose into thinnest leaf. It has a supreme virtue - it is wonderfully soporific. A great bedtime listen; no need for any other sleeping draught! One disadvantage is that I don’t really know what’s happening in the story - I gave up at chapter 4 - or was it 5? But I don’t think I’ll miss much. Night, night …

I remember reading de Lint way back when and eagerly awaiting his next offering. I was somewhat younger then and found the books both original and fascinating.
Older, wiser, more experienced and a little more cynical - how does it stack up? Well yes methinks it does. Not quite as riveting as 30 years ago but still a good listen. Certainly worth a try for anyone new to the works and I would be happy to revisit other offerings.
