A Tale Twice Told - Warren, Mark

. .

Résumé :
Award-winning writer of Wyatt Earp, An American Odyssey, winner of the 2020 Will Rogers Medallion Award, a 2019 Spur Award Finalist and an Editor's Choice by The Historical Novel Society Coming from an impoverished family, Robert Asherwood is a loner at an elite boarding school in Georgia. Though gifted scholastically, Ash nurtures his real passion-the bow and arrow-in the fields and forests that surround the campus. His devotion to this arcane skill would seem to have nothing to offer for his future. But what about its relevance to his past . . . in a former life? In his senior year, Ash finds himself at the center of a motley circle of friends, all of whom display a certain allegiance to him. One of those is Marin Fitzwalter, a visiting literature teacher from England. Though she is his senior by twenty years, Ash is drawn to her in ways he does not understand. Ever so cautiously, Marin introduces to him the possibility of past incarnations. But Ash will have none of it. Yet, when he is wrongly expelled from school, his new friends rally to the cause and join him as outlaws in the forest. This permutation of the Robin Hood legend is a tribute to the powerful bonds that can exist between tried and true friends. Who is to say that souls cannot recycle and return for another go at life? And, when blood is in the bond, could not a handful of comrades make that journey back together?
