A harrowing nightmare tale with heart told through the memories of the narrator as he sits by the ocean at the end of the lane near his childhood home. I loved being with the Hempstocks and I recognize them/her from earlier tales and ages. The cosmology is enchanting; I'd enjoy spending more time in this world. At the end, though, the book lifts up notions of worth and being "good enough" that made the story even more meaningful for me ... and perhaps also for you.
