Series: Tillerman Cycle
by Author Cynthia Voigt
Sons from Afar (1996)
Must be read if you've read the first five books in the series and have become enamored of all things Tillerman. It doesn't stand on its own, which was okay by me. It doesn't really start and it doesn't really end, which, also, was okay by me. It's like reading a diary of a good friend who is ...
