A magical book. Not only is it beautifully written in an easy, conversational storyteller's voice, but it tugs at the reader's awareness with themes and motifs from mythology, fairytale, folktale while telling a story that is based in reality. Magical realism but it is rooted in the world of a small town full of tensions, emotions, jealousies and passions. And this makes the magic work. Aimed at a YA audience but do read it.
