Seeking refuge in fantasy novel worlds throughout a youth under the shadow of a dubiously sane half-brother who dabbled in magic, Mori Phelps is forced to confront her mother in a tragic battle and gains unwanted attention when she attempts to perform spells herself.
Anyone who found that books were easier friends than people, who left their troubles for the world of science fiction and fantasy will love Mor. I love the ambiguity of this book, of what's going on, as well as the emotional reality. Truely beautiful.
20% Judy Blume, 80% diary of a boarding school girl who reads a lot and goes on about fairies and magic in an oblique sort of way. Fine writing and I read the whole thing, but that's about it.
