Book excerpt: PETER BARBIERIS mesmerizing Book One of his trilogy depicts the resentment, suspicion, and intrigue that direct the lives of one Native American family living in North America prior to the European invasion. Book One begins with the birth of a son and ends with two brothers fi ght-to-the-death. The Purple Sky is an account of EMILY MADDINGs (b. 1765, d. 1857) dreamvisits to a small Native American village. In a manner most mysterious and uncanny, Emily lives the life of PALE-MOON, one of the villages women. Emily defi nes her relationship with Pale-Moon in this way: It is as if I am here now, on the tenth of January, 1806, sitting at my desk, living a life as wife and mother a life with a memory, history, and a fancied future and yet I am vaguely aware of a ubiquitous presence hovering in an indefi nable space; a presence that connects me to all that has been and to all that will be. In so far as the Native American woman is concerned, Emily is her ubiquitous presence, and she [Pale-Moon] is to a certain extent aware of it. Through Emily, Pale-Moon narrates the compelling story of her peoples struggle to maintain a harmonious existence within a world teetering on the brink of transfi guration. BARBIERIS previous works of fictionTales From the Soft Underbelly of Confusion, a collection of short stories, and Tree Of Dreams, a novelwere published by iuiverse in 2007 and 2009 respectively.
