New Book by Janet Mason: "The Unicorn, the Mystery"

Adelaide Books announces the release of the novel "The Unicorn, the Mystery."

New York, NY, November 24, 2020 --(PR.com)-- Adelaide Books is proud to offer the latest work by Janet Mason The Unicorn, the Mystery hitting stores everywhere now.

“In The Unicorn, The Mystery, we meet a unicorn who tells us the story of the seven tapestries, called 'The Hunt of the Unicorn' from the 1500s on display in 'the unicorn room' in The Cloister in Manhattan, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The tapestries tell the story of what is still called an 'unsolved mystery'. The story is set in an abbey in France not far from the barn in the countryside where the tapestries were discovered. Pursued by a band of hunters, the unicorn is led along by observing birds, smelling and eating the abbey flowers and fruits (including imbibing in fermented pomegranates), pursuing chaste maidens (there is one in the tapestry) and at times speaks to other animals such as the majestic stag. Experience a magical, medieval world through the eyes of a unicorn and the heretical young monk who is enthralled by her in The Unicorn, The Mystery by Janet Mason. Hunters are out to capture and perhaps kill the unicorn. The monk’s devotion may turn out to be the unicorn’s rescue or downfall. Like a beautiful tapestry, the novel weaves together theological debate and unforgettable characters, including queer nuns and their secret cat companion. Mason blends myth and history to conjure up a spellbinding vision.” - Kittredge Cherry, Publisher, Qspirit.net, Author of “Jesus in Love: A Novel”
