A review by katscribefever
The Secret of Nightingale Wood by Lucy Strange

4.0

There is a bibliographic category known as “realistic fiction,” but the tone of this story doesn’t feel right for that. I prefer to think of it as a “realistic fairytale.” One of the strongest themes throughout this novel is grief and the struggle to move beyond it, all told from the perspective of a young girl whose biggest goal is to help her family heal closer together while the world wants to tear them apart. A charming little story that leaves the reader feeling uplifted.
