Shadow Spinner
Shadow Spinner | Susan Fletcher
2 posts | 12 read | 3 to read
Every night, Shahrazad begins a story. And every morning, the Sultan lets her live another day -- providing the story is interesting enough to capture his attention. After almost one thousand nights, Shahrazad is running out of tales. And that is how Marjan's story begins.... It falls to Marjan to help Shahrazad find new stories -- ones the Sultan has never heard before. To do that, the girl is forced to undertake a dangerous and forbidden mission: sneak from the harem and travel the city, pulling tales from strangers and bringing them back to Shahrazad. But as she searches the city, a wonderful thing happens. From a quiet spinner of tales, Marjan suddenly becomes the center of a more surprising story than she ever could have imagined.

Shadow Spinner is a wonderful tale that I return to time after time for it reminds me of three wonderful truths:
1). There is magic in story telling.
2). Friendships can come when you least expect it.
3). Love and forgive, for everyone faces their own demons.

A wonderful rendition of a tale spun from Arabian Nights!
