SO GOOD. Erin Bow's sophomore novel is even better than her already-noteworthy debut, Plain Kate. Similarly atmospheric and so thought-provoking, a philosophical musing that drops you in its midst and leaves you to go with the flow and figure things out. The best books leave you gasping for breath upon your abrupt return into your own world, where things are suddenly not quite the same as they were before--like the veil between your world and the world-that-can-be has flutterlifted slightly.

I started reading this the day before the ebook expired on my nook, and never got around to buying it to finish. I'd still like to do so someday. I'm sorry!
