"Madeleine and Rogan Tierney are first cousins and descendants of the great stage actress Madeleine Armin Tierney. They live with their many relatives at Arden Terrace, a gated community with large, rambling houses in Yonkers, and as the youngest cousins they are the closest--so close that they share a connection no one else could ever comprehend, and ultimately fall in love. Encouraged by their glamorous Aunt Kate to pursue their legacy in theater, the two participate in their school's production of Twelfth Night, which causes all sorts of feelings and emotions to swell, and forces Madeleine and Rogan to face the uncertainty of their future together."
I really thought that this was beautifully written, but honestly I could not see the point that the author was trying to make. Or was there even a point? While the writing is vivid and sensuous and the characters realistic and complex the whole plot was simply to short to really show anything worthy of attention. I was not very impressed with anything in Illyria.
