It is the middle of the Fourteenth Century in the land that would someday become known as Romania. The Black Plague has ended, but warring tribes and competing monarchies fight over the territory. A young girl is orphaned and adopted by a traveling band of Roma blacksmiths. The People are kind to the girl, but she has many trials ahead. In betraying those who have cared for her, she fulfills a destiny for herself and many others, but at great personal sacrifice. The Oracle and the Pearl is a tale that is filled with reverence for the unknowable mysteries of the grand design connecting all life. As one purpose is fulfilled, the fate of others is revealed. The story is told by Jaelle, who struggles to see how a woman with no identity can fit into a world that is not always generous to those who do not conform. In her lyrically winding narrative, we hear the eternal question of whether any of us chooses our own path, or if we can only go in the direction determined by our unique character existing in a point in time.
