Triad

I bought this book for fifty cents at my local thrift store. I had no idea it was such a rare find. I throughly enjoyed this story of a woman's experience...be it other worldly, reincarnation, multiple personality what have you. Also the myths and folklore were interesting as well. There are some twists and turns that kept it going and still left me unsure of the cause of the narrator's predicament. Lastly after looking the book up online I read that Stevie Nicks took some inspiration for her song Rhiannon from this novel. I have been a life long fan of Fleetwood Mac & Stevie Nicks. This is a book I treasure....never to be found in my unhaul stack.

Branwen, our heroine is trapped between two worlds... one real and the other false. Written in the first person, readers will feel the things she feels, see the things she sees, and become what she becomes. This little-known novel is powerful and pleasant to read. I loved every word of it.

This book is among my favorites. I found it in my Grandmothers attic and fell in love. I did not read it for Stevie Nicks(didn't know there was a connection)like most people so I didn't have the same mentallity going into the book. Go into this book with an open mind, with all it's twists and turns you'll need it. I love how it keeps you geussing, I strongly recommend this book to every one. You will love it's genius.

This is the novel that Stevie Nicks was reading when she wrote the song "Rhiannon" back in 1975. That is what sparked my initial interest in the book.I am so glad I read it! It not only gave me some insight into Stevie's world, but it is also quite a compelling story. At first, it was very creepy...I almost was scared to continue reading it. But as the story went on, it became so interesting, other-worldly, and almost ethereal. If you are interested in Stevie Nicks, myths, legends, and even a little bit of psychology, I recommend this book to you highly!This is a very good story of a woman struggling with issues of both the past and present n her life.

This novel is about a woman's struggle with multiple personalities...or is she fighting a soul from the other side of the grave?Branwen, a seemingly normal American writer and wife, moves with her husband to an old, mysterious house overlooking Lake Michgan. Here she begins to experience periods of "missing time," missing objects, and other strange occurances. She gradually comes to believe that the spirit of her dead cousin, Rhiannon, is slowly taking over her mind and body. She tries several methods of dealing with the problem on her own but is finally forced to seek psychiatric help. Her doctor has his own explanation, colored by his weakness for Branwen. How will Branwen resolve her difficulties...or will she?Along the way the reader is treated to stories of Celtic and Greek myths, as well as discussions of paranormal activities such as ESP, reincarnation, and pschyokinesis.Although parts of the book now seem dated (it was published in 1973), all in all this book is a thrilling ride through the twists and turns of the supernatural and imagination.And by the way, singer/songwriter Stevie Nicks of Fleetwood Mac has said in interviews that she got the idea to use the name "Rhiannon" for her hit song from reading this book.

This is an exceptional treat for anyone interested in possession, multiple personality disorder, celtic folklore, and having illicit affairs with your psychiatrist. I loved it! VERY hard to find. A real twisted supernatural gem.
