Publisher Notes

Bettina is one of the few humans who can see the Gentry, old world spirits who appear as dark and dangerous men, and she stays clear of them, until one night, one follows her to the woods and takes her hand. By the author of Someplace to Be Flying.

Media Reviews

"Charles de Lint has plenty of experience when it comes to invoking those shadowy crossroads where modern people must learn to deal with old spirits and magic. In FORESTS OF THE HEART, he takes elements (and elementals) of the cold, wet northeast and the dry, hot southwest, adds more than a little Irish, and comes up with a complex human drama, good strong stuff."

First Line

Like her sister, Bettina San Miguel was a small, slender woman in her mid-twenties, dark-haired and darker-eyed; part Indio, part Mexican, part something older still. Growing up, they'd often been mistaken for twins, but Bettina was a year younger and, unlike Adelita, she had never learned to forget.
