The Rowan Tree
By Robert W. Fuller
As
the Arthurian myth sowed the seeds of a democratic Britain, The Rowan
Tree foretells a dignitarian world. This novel of ideas is replete with
illicit loves, quixotic quests, transformative failures—and
inextinguishable hope.
The
Rowan Tree reaches from the catalytic 1960s into humanity’s global
future, and encompasses the worlds of politics, sport, ballet,
terrorism, presidential leadership, and world governance. An
international cast of characters personifies the catalytic role of love
and sex in political change.
I have to admit, this book baffled me. It started out really well and then it seemed like the author had forgotten who the characters were and where he had intended to take the story. At one point it becomes something close to a political lecture. There were moments of brilliant writing, but this book left me feeling rather flat.
