A review by faehearted
The Onion Girl by Charles de Lint

4.0

A little darker than I generally like in this type of story, but it was important to the story and felt totally organic and not just thrown in for shock value. And once again, it felt like a story being told and not like I was reading a novel someone had written. It may seem a weird distinction, but the to me the best books are true stories and not novels where you see the hand of the author in the work. Also, I love how magic just suffuses everything, and whether a character believes in it or not, it's just there. Lovely and engrossing.
