Morwenna and her twin sister used to talk to the fairies. When her mother loses her grip on reality she is sent from Wales to England to be cared for by her father. She is sent to boarding school. She is a outsider both in her new home and at her new school. Noticing she is an avid reader, the school librarian recommends a weekly book discussion group which meets at a local library. She makes new friends and finds refuge in this book club
I love this book for so many reasons. One reason is that it defies classification. Is it fantasy or sci-fi? Is it just a straight forward novel? I'm not sure which leads me to another reason. The narrative is never clear as to whether or not Mori really sees fairies and interacts with them or is she delusional? This is a bittersweet tale of the end of childhood and so much more. I recommend this one.
