NOVEL BY DIANE DE AVALLE-ARCE (PILAR DE OVALLE)

CALABRINIA FALLING (Crossing Press, 1990)

``CALABRINIA FALLING is simply brilliant from the start.  The 
author draws you along through her colorful world of pale 
salamanders, rusty breastplates and silver bells, white 
brandy and slim girls with beryl-green eyes.  My God, Pilar 
de Ovalle spills more good writing in this book than 
most writers manage to string together in a career.''

                                --Neal Barrett, Jr. (Pink Vodka Blues)

East of the great Western Ocean and west of the Desert of 
Death, Calabrinia the ancient city reposes beside the River 
Ca amid fields of amaranth and apricots.  Alina, youngest and 
most willful of the nine hundred eighty-two princesses, 
finds herself in serious trouble and sets out to meet more.
