A story of being misunderstood


Ingamald is the story of a girl who eats her own mother.

It is also the story of a lonely orphan, a misunderstood girl-woman, a shunned and feared adept at magic. Moreover, it is a tale of friendship–its life-saving and healing powers.

Barely sixteen and banished from her village, Ingamald sets forth to confront her estranged mother, Spinne. This cruel sorceress aims to destroy any adversaries who seek to unravel the ill-fated threads in a tapestry of destruction she has woven. While on her quest, Ingamald receives her first kiss, attends her first party, and fancies a musician rover with a gold tooth.

Reviews

"Sobat has woven a rich tapestry with her eloquent writing style. She has captured the setting of the novel beautifully using different dialects and challenging vocabulary, and by providing strong descriptions of the landscapes and social conventions…. The conclusion to Ingamald’s quest is a delightfully gruesome battle with her mother.” – The Edmonton Journal

"There is an element of transformation in several senses, one in the literal sense…but there is also a transition in the sense that [Ingamald] becomes what she is intended to be by the fates as opposed to by her mother… something that shows a progression of character." - Chris Allen, CKUA Radio

"Sobat has woven a mesmerizing first novel….[Her] description of a musical instrument could easily be written about her own prose – it is written with ‘intricate and bouncing rhythms and masterful dexterous rumbles." - Merle Harris, author of Telling Tales: Storytelling in the Family

“In a story spun out of the threads of folk and fairy tales, Sobat has herself created an imaginative tapestry that will make young readers reconsider the role of witches in our society…. An intriguing fantasy.” - Jeffrey Canton, Books in Canada

“Young adult readers will identify with Ingamald. They will enjoy her spunk, independence, and derring-do in the face of all challenges, and will be engaged by the question about destiny and inividual choice that Sobat wraps around Ingamald’s quest.” - Tololwa Mollel, author of The Orphan Boy

“Sobat takes us on a magical journey of discovery. She is a welcome new voice in Canadian fiction.” - Carolyn Pogue, author of A Creation Story
