House of the Waterlily Zusammenfassung

House of the Waterlily: A Novel of the Ancient Maya World Kelli Carmean

Set in the Maya civilization's Late Classic Period House of the Waterlily is a historical novel centered on Lady Winik, a young Maya royal. Through tribulations that mirror the political calamities of the Late Classic world, Winik's personal story immerses the reader not only in her daily life, but also in the difficult decisions Maya men and women must have faced as they tried to navigate a rapidly changing world. Kelli Carmean's novel brings to life a people and an era remote from our own, yet recognizably human all the same.

House of the Waterlily Bewertungen

House of the Waterlily is an excellent introduction into the world of the Classic Period Maya in large part because Carmean is a fine storyteller who weaves her narrative as beautifully as a 'fine-spun' huipil. This book would be an excellent addition to the course reading list for undergraduate students who are studying the ancient Maya. * Scott Simmons, University of North Carolina, Wilmington

Although fiction, House of the Waterlily is a powerful platform from which to begin a discussion of vast catastrophic events in the context of daily life in the late Classic period of this fascinating pre-Columbian civilization. * Rob Swigart, author, Xibalba Gate: A Novel of the Classic Maya
