A CURSE DARK AS GOLD
In a hefty, thoughtful Rumpelstiltskin tale, Charlotte Miller fights and strains and sacrifices to embody her surname. The Miller family runs Stirwaters, a river-powered textile mill in a pre-industrial village. It’s been passed down haphazardly because no Miller son ever lives to inherit it. Charlotte and sister Rosie take over upon their father’s death, but troubles persist. Non-superstitious Charlotte resists the idea of a family curse; she insists the ongoing destruction is simply bad luck and vandalism. A perfumed, dandy uncle arrives to wrest power away from the sisters. Bunce writes the mill as a character too, bound into the family “by loss and grief and vengeance.” As stubborn Charlotte fiercely defends Stirwaters against physical and financial ruin, misguided habits of secrecy and fear lead to a near-loss of her infant son to the Rumpelstiltskin figure, a classic tortured ghost from ages past. His origins unravel the tangled mystery. Slow pacing and a protagonist with infuriating secretiveness may deter some readers, but those who stick it out will find substance and beauty.

Reviews for "Elevating Your Jewelry Game with David Yurman's Pendants Collection"
- Emily - 2/5: I purchased one of the David Yurman Magical Pendants from this collection and I was left disappointed. The design looked beautiful in the pictures with all the sparkles and intricate details, but in person, it was underwhelming. The pendant itself felt cheaply made and lacked the elegance I was expecting from such a high-end brand. It also didn't live up to its magical properties as described in the product description. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this collection if you're looking for something truly special and worth the investment.
- Michael - 1/5: I had high hopes for the David Yurman Magical Pendants collection, but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations. The pendant I purchased had a faulty clasp that kept opening unexpectedly, putting my necklace at risk of falling off and getting lost. Not only was the craftsmanship subpar, but the design itself was also nothing extraordinary. Save your money and look for better options elsewhere.
- Sarah - 2/5: I was really excited to add a piece from the David Yurman Magical Pendants collection to my jewelry collection, but unfortunately, it didn't impress me. The pendant I got looked much smaller and less impressive in person than it appeared in the pictures. The overall quality was decent, but it just didn't have that "wow" factor I was hoping for. I would suggest looking at other collections from David Yurman or exploring different brands before settling for this one.
