Of Myths & Legends

The Matchmaker’s Mare by Hywela Lyn is a contemporary fantasy that I read in just one sitting.

It is set in West Wales, a wild and rugged landscape, a place of myths and legends. A matchmaker and her husband forever roam the landscape, still making matches in death as in life.

We see the weather mirroring the turmoil when a character has a dilemma and a disappointment.

There is the importance of family. Family is about love and care, not about money and possessions.

The characters were well drawn. Most were warm and welcoming; one was cold and calculating.

Animals make a house into a home. Horses were central to the novel.
