Description
Imagine landing the assignment of your career - managing a famous international exhibit featuring 'Dreamtime' artwork by Australian Aboriginal artists - only to find the painted legends have a life of their own that intrudes into your own safe waking reality. In THIN LINE BETWEEN, Anne C. Petty's exciting first novel in the Wandjina series, Alice Waterston has enough to worry about putting together the long-awaited Land of Legends Australian Aboriginal art exhibit. She's anticipated the grand opening for over a year. But from the moment the pieces begin to arrive, what should be her greatest achievement as arts curator of the Hardison Museum suddenly becomes a nightmare. Things quickly begin to spiral out of control, in the museum and in Alice's personal life. In her search to uncover the source of these mysteries, Alice may be in for more than she expected, unearthing clues to her past and some ancient secrets that may be better off left sleeping. Though setting her tale in fictional Massalina County, Florida, native Floridian Anne Petty paints a detailed, highly visual picture of rural north Florida, with its winding roads, river inlets, and old-growth woods redolent with fungi and flowering shrubs. With the salt tang of the Gulf in the air, THIN LINE BETWEEN is a feast for the senses as well as spine-tingling trip into a world where reality and myth collide. This second edition contains some new material, with new typesetting and formatting.
