5.0

This novel is made of all the same materials that comprise my heart. It is incredibly beautiful and blue, bursting with a rare and wonderful love. Cypher seamlessly blends folklore with reality to create a profoundly moving portrait of an auntie and her girl. This is, without a doubt, one of my favourite novels and will live in my heart for many years.
