Here's to the poets, who cannot be silenced,
who remind us of the places,
we cannot return.
I don't actually know much about Scottish history. There's so much in this world that I don't know and that's okay because we have books and stories that can inform us. I know that this story of a Mist Sprite couldn't be counted as necessarily "true", as Hinton had also mentioned in her Author's Note, but it was extremely powerful in telling the story of something so simple, mysterious, and beautiful as the mist in a glen. I cried a lot while reading this book. Hinton's writing is breathtaking. She knows how to set up a scene and make it feel like we're the mist alongside Margie. She perfectly described how a mist sprite could learn the ways of humans. She told a tale that could resonate with any person that came from displaced peoples.
There's not much more to say, other than this is one of the most powerful books I've read in a while. I've had books that I've loved so much and felt the effects of their words, but this one dug deep into the core of my soul and showed me the way to the mist in the forest.
