A fantastic tale by the legendary Diana Wynne Jones--with an
introduction by Garth Nix.
Polly Whittacker has two sets of memories. In the first, things are
boringly normal; in the second, her life is entangled with the
mysterious, complicated cellist Thomas Lynn. One day, the second set of
memories overpowers the first, and Polly knows something is very wrong.
Someone has been trying to make her forget Tom - whose life, she
realizes, is at supernatural risk. Fire and Hemlock is a fantasy
filled with sorcery and intrigue, magic and mystery - and a most unusual
and satisfying love story.
Widely considered to be one of Diana Wynne Jones's best novels, the
Firebird edition of Fire and Hemlock features an introduction by the
acclaimed Garth Nix - and an essay about the writing of the book by
Jones herself.
