When I picked this book up, I was hesitant to read it because it was told to me as “a mother’s grief over a child’s plague death.” I don’t know where I got that, but it’s kinda untrue. Does that play a part in the story? Yes, but not for the first 250 pages. Those are filled with young love, teenage stupidity, familial strife, and just the right touch of magic.
Agnes's nods to being a wood sprite and almost witch-like knowledge was just enough fantasy to really pull me in, because there are people out there who you meet and you’re like, “You know a secret and I’m not gonna question how you know it.”
The only reason this isn’t five stars is because ITS NOT REAL. Sure, it’s based in what little fact we know, but it hurts me a little. I’m taking this story as history anyways, I’m not sorry.
READ THIS BOOK.
