Fayne: Ann-Marie MacDonald

Product Information

After graduating from the National Theatre School of Canada in Montreal, she moved to Toronto where she distinguished herself as an actor and playwright. I needed to know more about this captivating relationship between father and daughter, and I was extremely curious to find out about her “special condition”.

Ann-Marie MacDonald is a Canadian playwright, novelist, actor and broadcast journalist who lives in Toronto, Ontario.I’m a rather new player so I’m not sure if multiple warmaster procs are intentional or not so I figured I would just share this knowledge. What happened to Mae, her Irish-American heiress mother, and her brother, Charles, is revealed alongside Charlotte’s own quest for knowledge. The added bonus with fayne is her default damage is quite high which is a benefit on counter attack/unkillable/ally attack team. When Fayne climbed into a bathtub with Lorien and began caressing her leg, Lorien immediately knew Fayne wasn't Ilira. This is conflicting with the behaviour that I see on Clan Bosses (I can confirm Normal and Hard Void affinity though I would think it applies to all) where I from time to time see multiple Warmaster procs (A1 damage -> Warmaster damage -> Infernal Resilience -> A1 damage -> Warmaster -> Infernal Resilience; same story for A3 but with 3 hits).

The “old ways” at Fayne are still practiced, and it is in many ways a sanctuary from the changing of time that takes place outside of it. It won the Commonwealth Prize for Best First Fiction, the People’s Choice Award and the Libris Award.I did enjoy it, especially the earlier sections and those written from the perspective of Charlotte where the narrative voice was warmer and more comical.

I want to see how far I can take her there since I don’t have Occult Brawler or Frozen Banshee on that account, yet. She lives this idyllic existence in the shadow of the magnificent portrait of her late mother, a beautiful Irish-American heiress, holding her brother, Charles, who was two when he died. Charlotte Bell is growing up at Fayne, which is a lonely large estate with her father, Lord Henry Bell. But it’s also a big-hearted book that creeps up on you and has you in its hold, as stealthily as that sudden mist rises on the moors around Fayne House.As a fey'ri, she was already a natural shapeshifter, but she preferred changing her form further with more extensive shaping and illusory effects. Instead, my tutor opened for me daily the Book of Life and bid me peruse where I would in pursuit, not so much of answers – for answers are abundant as drones in a hive – but Questions. I did not read the synopsis but I did read one review on GoodReads (by Carolyn Walsh) that motivated me even more. This is fiction at its best, skillfully capturing life’s chaos and the boundaries that are supposed to contain it, a story of death and desire and beating, bloody hearts.

This longer historical fiction touches on issues of nationality, class, gender, sexuality, morality/social behaviours, and culture. Chalmers Canadian Play Award and the Canadian Author's Association Award for her play, Goodnight Desdemona (Good Morning Juliet).It becomes a generational tale, reminding me of Downton Abbey, at times, where it’s the last of the aristocrats and the changing of the country, doing away with old notions and old ways of life, and old ways of thinking, too. Fayne is] wonderfully, elaborately Gothic, ambitious in its scope and language—a mix of late 19th-century English, Scots and Gaelic. In 1996, MacDonald’s first novel, Fall on Your Knees (Vintage), won the Commonwealth Prize for Best First Fiction, the People’s Choice Award and the Libris Award.
