Solstice Wood by Patricia McKillip

Yes, I managed to read something this week besides textbooks or a quick romance in the tub.

I love the twists and turns of Patricia McKillip’s books. I love getting lost in the language and the words just as I would in a Ray Bradbury novel. What if you were the thing that your grandparents hated? Would you live at home? What if you inherited the family house? What if that house was the doorway to another realm? What if you had a parent who lived on the other side? What if Grandma who kept the door shut, didn’t know it was your parent trying to cross?

McKillip weaves another wondrous tale where the faerie realm and our world merge and proves again while she’s one of my favorite authors.
