My great aunt gave me this book years ago but I only just read it. The title and the cover and the font make it look like it‘s going to be some light airy read, so I didn‘t expect themes of suicide, murder, mental illness, etc. I‘m glad I finally read it!

Gwenni flies in her sleep. "I never fly far beyond the shore. If my town were a map the bay would have Here be Monsters written on it in golden ink.”

Read this a while back. My very minimal GR review reads 'beautiful and strange'.
