Summary

 Berlin in autumn: Christine Starlight lives in an artists' colony with her lover Jude, whose patience and beauty have eased her battle with chronic pain. But Christine begins to be haunted by childhood recollections of a little girl's disappearance and the flapping of a blackbird's wings. Then her world is rocked by the return of a childhood friend... Mayfridh rules over a land where a wolf is the queen's counsellor, fate turns on the fall of an autumn leaf and mortals feel no pain. As Christine becomes addicted to Mayfridh's world, so Mayfridh grows addicted to Christine's, falling dangerously in love with Jude.©2003 Kim Wilkins.

"Kim Wilkins has a gift for creating narratives that swivel between the world of fantasy and reality." (The Sydney Morning Herald)

Kim Wilkins has always been one of my all time favourite authors, and The Autumn Castle is by far the best story I’ve read from her (and now listened to). I felt slightly let down by the sound of it read out, however still a captivating and dark twisted delight of a story. The plot is woven in with snippets of Germanic folklore, gothic fairytales and horror. Love how some of the descriptions give chills. Be patient, give it a go. I’ve heard others readers say they find characters are extremely broken people, but really, that’s one of the reasons I love this. It’s raw and messy and isn’t afraid to explore things that other writers might not.

I love this.

I found this books difficult to get into but once you get there you can't help but feel for the characters. If you persist (I had multiple long car rides) you will be rewarded.

You have to stick with it
