The Innkeeper's Song, by Peter S. Beagle. Three mysterious women arrive at a country inn. Each has secrets and obsessions; each is pursued or drawn onward by someone from her past. The story is told through alternating viewpoints of different characters as their paths converge and complications develop. Although it doesn't possess quite the startling, crystal-clear originality of some of Beagle's earlier work like Come, Lady Death or A Fine And Private Place, it's a fantasy adventure worthy to keep company with those of Leiber and Howard and Vance.
