Time: "In Weaveworld, a prosaic Liverpool clerk named Calhoun Mooney falls into a magic carpet. He has entered the cursed and enchanted Weaveworld of the Seerkind, a people with the power to make magic--or to destroy humanity...Barker puts in strands of Joyce, Poe, Tolkein and King himself, and emerges with the one ingredient that all good rugmakers and storytellers have in common: an irresistible yarn." |

| Publisher's Note: |
It was hope undid them. Hope, and the certainty that Providence had made them suffer enough for their dreams. They'd lost so much already along the trail--children, healers, all taken--surely, they reasoned, God will preserve them from further loss, and reward their griefs and hardships with deliverance into a place of plenty. |
