HERE IN AVALON

Devon Sorvari brings this contemporary urban fairy tale to life with her portrayal of Rose and Cecilia. The two sisters, who live in New York City, are struggling to find their way in the world. In doing so, they must navigate their relationships with each other and with a mystical and mysterious cabaret troupe called Avalon. Sorvari's narration morphs during the book, giving a chilling reality to the journey these women undertake as each decides whether to embrace the cultish world of Avalon. As each sister becomes more and more involved with Avalon, Sorvari alters her narration to depict their surrender of independent thought. Although the vocal change seems like an odd choice in the beginning, as the narration continues, it has a chilling and sinister effect that is appropriate to the story.
