Editorial Reviews

Product Description
"Sometimes he swam on his back and then the stars would make pinholes in his eyes, sinking, sinking until they came to rest in the darkness of his brain, sleeping reflections to their brothers across the void of space. Then they wre in his mind, and he could hear them."

Green Music blends the Gritty reality of Toronto's studio district with a medieval tropical paradise shaped by the union of sea turtles and humans. A struggling artist, possessed by a derelict friend's grief and the legacy of a whiskey-swilling Great Lakes mariner, forges a gateway to her dreams.

In her debut novel, Ursula Pflug delivers a shimmering narrative, gliding effortlessly between magic realism and fantasy with humour and insight.

5.0 out of 5 stars Floating Between Worlds, July 2, 2002
By A Customer
Green Music is an excellent debut novel that takes the reader deep into space between the real and the imagined. Pflug, an accomplished short story writer, tells the story of those who can change places with giant turtles, how they lose the ability, and how one woman may be able to help them find it again. That woman is Marina, a woman living in Toronto, struggling to survive, and confused and haunted by the dreams and visions she's having. Recommended for those who like to dream, and for fans of urban fantasy (Charles De Lint) and good modern fiction.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome adventure!!, January 19, 2004
This is a fantastic and completely original first novel by speculative writer Ursula Pflug. Based partially in Toronto and partially in the alternate world of Marina, the story explores the concept that everyone has a twin. Marina, described as a medieval village by the sea is inhabited by shape shifters who switch between turtle and human, but the turtles have gone away and now only the human counterparts remain in the seaside village. When the Toronto-based characters become aware of the alternate universe they look for ways to bring the worlds and each other closer together.

Taking bits and pieces of this surreal fantasy out of context doesn't do the story justice. It's an expertly crafted and intricately woven tale that takes you on a thoroughly entertaining journey. . The world that Pflug creates is breathtakingly beautiful. I hope we get another glimpse of Marina soon.

5.0 out of 5 stars Turtle Magic, July 9, 2004
I love this book! I completely fell in love with Marina. I identified with her struggle in the Toronto world so much. It was heartbreaking to me when the book ended. I wanted to go with her! Ursula's play between worlds is magical and completely plausible. You can feel the water on your fins and the sun on your belly. I look forward to reading more from this author! Thank you!
