The Stone Road

“A coming-of-age story with a dreamlike quality. . . . Those who appreciate fantasy that leans toward fable will gladly follow along on Jean’s journey.” —Booklist

“The Stone Road is lovely, hypnotic. I want to drink this book.” —H. A. Clarke, author of The Scapegracers

“Trent Jamieson’s The Stone Road is a heart wrapped in thorns. Its world, even as it unpicks itself at the seams, is shot through with bright mysteries. And the novel, like its heroine, holds dear a loving, quarrelling community, even as it understands that towns—like time and people—slip away like dust. The Stone Road is a cycle of mysteries, an invocation of kindness amidst decay, a promise to the living, and blessing for the dead.” —Kathleen Jennings, author of Flyaway

“The Stone Road . . . pulls you in and makes you linger over every page. I don’t know which to praise first—the worldbuilding, which had a depth that made it feel neverending; the prose, which made me want to underline whole passages; or the characters. . . . Perfect for fans of classics like The Last Unicorn (which is to say, anyone who likes good books). I know it’s something I’ll be recommending for years to come.” —Katherine Nazzaro, Manager of Porter Square Books: Boston Edition

“Trent Jamieson is . . . a significant talent, writing beautifully crafted tales that often have a baroque sensibility and resonate on an emotional level.” —Terra Incognita
