Windflower Signed 1st Edition Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

With the same romance and drama that put his Griffin & Sabine saga on the New York Times best-seller list for over 100 weeks, selling three million copies in 12 international editions, Nick Bantock presents an unforgettable story of one woman's journey to self-discovery. Ana, a striking young dancer, is promised in marriage to a man she doesn't love. No one understands her reluctance to wed. After all, isn't Marco a fine man? Won't the union of their two families benefit her people? And yet...

Guided by her heart and forces she does not yet recognize, she flees to the exotic port of Serona in search of Felix Bulerias, a man reputed to have the answers she seeks. But along the way, the attentions of four unusual men threaten to lure Ana in directions that she could never have fathomed — and lead her down a path of sensuality and understanding beyond any she could ever have imagined. Bantock's compelling narrative is accompanied by over 200 masterful color collages that form a frieze throughout. Brimming with myth and intrigue, Windflower is sure to enchant Nick Bantock fans the world over.

Kwilt2, September 28, 2007 (view all comments by Kwilt2)
First, let me start by admitting that I am an unabashed fan of Nick Bantock. I enjoy the often confusing, sometimes puzzling stories he weaves. Griffin & Sabine entertained me through repeated readings. I expect Wildflower will do the same, having just finished the first reading.
I appreciate the thought provoking process of reading a Nick Bantock book, whether it was warranted or not, I can't say. I couldn't decide if there was an underlying story, as in more than meets the eye, as typical with previous books. Sometimes the pictures at the bottom caused pause to determine if they fit with the text.
Ana's behavior was unpredictable; trusting then not. I couldn't be sure I liked her, especially as fortuitous as she was hooking up with just the right people and circumstances to lead her on her quest.
I enjoyed reading it and will again before the year is out.
I loved the artwork at the bottom of the pages (heavy high quality paper) it kept me wondering about the creation process~ and could I do something reminiscent with my own art work.
I own a first edition, autographed (by the author in Santa Monica CA 2 Nov 06) copy.
