May 2009 Book of the Month.
A great read, a well thought-out plot with a good build to the final crisis. It concerns a disturbed child with a mother who is at her wits’ end to find help. She eventually takes Sylvie to a professor who deals with children and the paranormal and together they unravel an extraordinary mystery. It’s well worth reading.
Comparison: Alice Hoffman, Cecelia Ahern, Audrey Niffenegger.
