199: Forty Shades of Green - "The Ground She Walks Upon" by Meagan McKinney
About this episode
The episode discusses the themes of magic and romance in 'The Ground She Walks Upon' by Meagan McKinney set in Ireland.
And now we arrive in Ireland. Finally. To discuss THE GROUND SHE WALKS UPON by MEAGAN MCKINNEY (1994). Ravenna is a social outcast who is also magically bound via geish to the Lord of her home, County Lir. Either Niall, at 20 years her senior, woos her, a lowly peasant, or his family looses the land they occupy in Ireland. What is the point of magic if it is just friendship or whatever? Does good romance determine a good romance, or is it all the other stuff? Is there ever such a thing as a good aristocrat? Trigger warnings: We talk about death and political violence.
