Book description
Charles de Lint's Moonheart unfolds like a song you didn't know you were waiting to hear-rich, haunting, and layered with the kind of magic that feels less like fantasy and more like memory. The audiobook pulls you in with the whisper of wind through old trees and the low hum of a motorcycle engine, carrying Sara and Jamie from the familiar streets of Ottawa into a shadowed realm where myth breathes just beneath the surface.
De Lint's gift lies in making the extraordinary nestle quietly within the everyday. What begins with ordinary artifacts becomes a doorway to a world stitched together from Welsh legend and urban dream, where bards carry the weight of centuries in their melodies and the fey move like shadows through modern life. The narration wraps around you like fog, drawing out every nuance of wonder and unease as the story shifts between the pulse of the city and the timeless pull of the otherworld.
The characters feel lived-in and real-Blue the biker, Keiran the musician, even the brooding Tom Hengyr-each carrying their own quiet magic and scars. Through them, the audiobook hums with authenticity, grounding the mystical in deeply human emotion. De Lint doesn't just tell a story; he conjures a place where music can heal or harm, where a house can stand in two worlds, and where the line between here and there trembles just out of sight.
Listening to Moonheart is like walking into a dream you never want to end-one where the past echoes in the present, and magic lingers at the edge of every streetlight.
