A review by lisawreading
Orfeia by Joanne M. Harris

3.0

I think maybe I just... didn't get this? The book is a modern-day fairy tale, taking the tale of King Orfeo (which in turn is inspired by Orpheus and Eurydice) and turning it into a story about a woman grieving the loss of her daughter, and just how far she'll go to find her again. The problem is, I found it hard to follow the logic of the story and understand why certain things happened the way they did.

Still, the writing is lovely, and the black and white illustrations throughout are absolutely gorgeous.
