Subject: Daughter of the Forest by Juliet Marilliet

The first book in the Seven Waters Trilogy, or as I just found out Quad (a fourth book came out recently), follows Sorcha the only daughter of an Irish Lord and her six older brothers. It is a retelling of the fairytale The Six Swans, if you are familiar with that one. Steeped in Celtic mythology and a good dose of magic and romance (not the Harlequin kind) and you have an enchanting read. I really loved this book and have read the second and third book as well. I highly recommend it. Oh and thanks to whomever it was who recommended The Tea Rose by Jennifer Donnelly. What a heart wrenching book. Read it in two days and didn't do much else.

Ooh, thanks, I didn't know another book had come out. (NT) -- Margy, 10:36:05 06/15/09 Mon
I read the Trilogy a few years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. She also wrote another Trilogy called The Bridei Chronicles which I found just as captivating. It is similar with the magic and other worldly presence. (NT) -- LadyGrace, 11:24:25 06/15/09 Mon

Jennifer Donnelly aslo has The Winter Rose which follows The Tea Rose, I enjoyed this one as much as the first. (NT) -- LadyGrace, 11:31:05 06/15/09 Mon
I love all Juliet Marilliet books. My favorites were The Bridei Chronicles. I'm also reading The Tea Rose at the moment and am enjoying it. (NT) -- Alissa, 18:26:46 06/16/09 Tue
Marillier has a really good young adult book called Wildwood Dancing - a bit inspired by the fairy tale about the 7 Dancing Princesses. I'll have to try her 'grown up' books too. (NT) -- HollyC, 05:32:44 06/17/09 Wed
- My 11 yo daughter has just read this. She loved it so much that it has moved to the TBR pile beside my bed! (NT) -- Rhiann, 23:58:46 06/17/09 Wed
I didn't know she wrote another trilogy. I'll have to try the Bridei Chronicles as well as her young adult book. I can't wait to read The Winter Rose, by Jennifer Donelly. (NT) -- Denise S., 13:01:38 06/17/09 Wed
