I read that book as well (only mine was the Prophecy of the Stones instead). It was a really great book, and is one of my favorites! I really admire Flavia Bujor for her unique and incredible writing.

Though Flavia means yellow, it seems like a total redhead name to me. I picture gorgeous red or auburn-haired women from a Pre-Raphaelite paintings. I like Flavia a lot. It's a very beautiful name, and it has this Victorian elegance and strength to it, which I can't help but admire.
