A novel of a girl's journey from an orphaned childhood in New Mexico to an opulent life in Gilded-Age New York, by the author of Avalon.

In 1850, as her mother lay dying and a priest stood by, Santa Fe Cameron was named by her Scottish father after the town in which she had just been born. At seven years old, she would also lose her father.

Shortly thereafter, a Navajo shaman recognized psychic power in the orphan girl, and gave her a turquoise pendant as a keepsake. This turquoise, the Indian symbol of the spirit, will dominate her life - even after she leaves the simple beauty of her native New Mexico to search for happiness in the glamorous New York of the 1870s.

For "Fey", life is made up of violent contrasts: the rough wagon that brings her East and the scented carriages waiting before her own Fifth Avenue mansion; the glittering world of the Astors and a dreary cell in the Tombs. Filled with color, excitement, and rich period detail, and starring an unforgettable heroine, this is a stirring historical saga from the author of Katherine, Foxfire, and many other novels.

I’ve read several Seton novels and this one doesn’t quite stand up with the rest. It’s more a fictional rags to riches story with a somewhat spiritual twist. Seton may have been captivated by Santa Fe and the Southwest so she wrote a novel that tied it in with New York’s Gilded Age. Many of the minor characters were real historical figures and the settings in both places appear to be accurate. But the story is just a story. The turquoise appears and reappears but you don’t ever get a very profound sense of what it is or does.

This is not a Katherine, her best novel. It is readable and enjoyable, which is what I was hoping to get.

I could have wished for a more expert narrator. Her liturgical sing song way of reading was a bit annoying and her attempts at accents weren’t always very on point. The narrator was tolerable but she didn’t enhance the experience.

Not As Strong As Her Other Works

An amazing, labyrinthine, circular narrative reminiscent of the universal wisdom found in T. S. Eliot's 'Four Quartets':
" ... We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time. ..."

I had high hopes; premise was good, but the story never got there. I tried, but couldn’t listen to it anymore. Narrator is not good, editing pauses are not good, writing is not good

Couldn’t finish it…
