What happens when four young adults fall victim to a curse from 500 years earlier? In Rob Dakin's, Vale of Shadows, readers are treated to a beautifully crafted, modern thriller packed with history, the supernatural, and a good old-fashioned love story. In the 16th Century, during the Ottoman invasion of Albania, a curse is cast. Five hundred years later, six teenagers in Istanbul witness a murder and one of the boys, Altin Guler, flees to America. Fast forward to the present, when his son Jeff comes to Turkey for earthquake relief, meets up with Orhan, the nephew of another witness, and they are joined by Aubrey and Jonathan. How could they know that they have been targeted for death, and that a Roma clan has been sworn to protect the family of Orhan? With the curse and its magical elements driving the story, a skeptical Jeff struggles with profound emotions- fear, loneliness, love- as he and his friends are propelled into the eternal battle of good versus evil. In this gripping mystery fraught with mysticism and revenge, love and determination, readers are swept into a vortex of treachery. Will the four survive? And what is this curse that they finally confront in the isolated mountains of Albania?
"One word... WOW! I am SO enjoying reading your book. You are one great author!"

Vale of Shadows
I completely forgot to review this little book, my husband has read it out loud for the whole family during Christmas Eve, The poor one has been interrupted hundreds of times because the English used by Thomas was not very easy to understand for us, many words now in disuse., so he had to translate so much that (was better to read it in italian one first!!😖)
The story is very tender and particular, an insight of Thomas' childhood that recalls the most significant images of his past Christmases .
My youngest children were impressed by Edward's bold illustrations, short reading before Christmas Mass.
Mi sono completamente dimenticata di recensire questo piccolo libricino, mio marito lo ha letto ad alta voce per tutta la famiglia durante la Vigilia di Natale, il poverino è stato interrotto centinaia di volte perchè l'inglese utilizzato da Thomas non è di facilissima comprensione, molte parole ormai in disuso.
La storia è tenerissima e particolare, uno spaccato dell' infanzia di Thomas che ricorda le immagini piu' significative dei Natali del suo passato.
I mie figli piu' piccoli sono rimasti colpiti dalle illustrazioni di Edward Ardizzone, mini lettura prima della Messa di Natale.
