About the Book

Art teacher Mira Fenn's life was curiously lacking in color until the day she learned of a mysterious inheritance from her birthmother--a long-abandoned house in New Mexico. Dim childhood memories begin to brighten in Mira's mind--her colorfully exotic mother, the curiously silent women who were her mother's servants. Returning to New Mexico, Mira discovers that the house is a faded thing, looked after by the charismatic Domingo Navidad. But when Mira dreams of her childhood home, it is a riot of color--and she and Domingo soon set to work to bring her dreams to life. Color brings more than just an old house back to life. The bright paint Mira applies to wood and plaster seems to reach into her soul, to awaken powers trapped in a decades-long slumber. The silent women reappear, carrying with them a great secret. Convinced her mother is still alive, Mira searches for her, journeying through a sea of light and color to a time and place far from her own. Who and what she finds there will alter her world forever.

Review :
"A fantastic yarn about Mira''s odd inheritance . . . . the novel''s strength lies in the unfolding of Mira''s character." "A fantastic yarn about Mira's odd inheritance . . . . the novel's strength lies in the unfolding of Mira's character." "Lovers of magical realism should relish this powerfully written tale of art and life." "Reminiscent of Charles de Lint . . . extremely enjoyable." --"Publishers Weekly" on "Child of a Rainless Year" "A tale of the Southwest filled with memorable characters, brilliant splashes of color, and, at the forefront, an unforgettable woman imbued with a desire to know the truth about her heritage. Lovers of magical realism should relish this powerfully written tale of art and life." --"Library Journal" on "Child of a Rainless Year" "Lindskold conjures the atmosphere of nontourist New Mexico, beautifully evoking Las Vegas' long, turbulent history while spinning a fantastic yarn about Mira's odd inheritance. Neither an explosive story nor an edge-of-the-seat-thriller, the novel's strength lies in the unfolding of Mira's character." --"Booklist" (starred review) on "Child of a Rainless Year" "I adore Jane Lindskold's writing . . .Her novels are a rarity for me--fat, engrossing novels that still don't seem long enough." --Charles de Lint on Jane Lindskold " Reminiscent of Charles de Lint . . . extremely enjoyable." --"Publishers Weekly" on "Child of a Rainless Year" " A tale of the Southwest filled with memorable characters, brilliant splashes of color, and, at the forefront, an unforgettable woman imbued with a desire to know the truth about her heritage.
