Sarah Broadhurst's view...
I recommend this to anyone from teenage to 80. I think Cecelia is a real star, a young writer who conjures up big emotions in clever, unusual stories. This one is a bit strange and involves a place somewhere else where missing things turn up, even missing people. It might sound far-fetched but it is enchantingly done, a joy to read. Highly recommended as, indeed, are all her books.
Similar this month: None but try Penelope Evans.
Comparison: Ben Sherwood, Alice Sebold.
