The Ghost's Child by Sonya Hartnett

3.0

Beautifully written fable, a quick read about growing up and growing old, finding and losing love, finding the self. It was classified as YA in my local library, which clearly has as much trouble categorising Hartnett's books as everyone else does. My main quibble with it was Feather's choice to go and live on an island that represented eternal peace. Everything we had seen of him before that suggested wildness and freedom - I thought we'd find him floating on an air current somewhere with the birds. The island didn't ring true.
