A Far Wilder Magic by Allison Saft

This review will be the most personal I’ve ever written and I was hesitant to write this but I’m writing this for me.
This book holds a special place in my heart. I have rarely related to a character more than I did with Margaret.
Just like Margaret - my father abandoned me as a child because ‘’dealing’’ (his words) with my mother was too much for him. So he just left me with her, and I quickly became my mother’s parent. The difference with me and Margaret is that I had a 2 younger brothers to care for from a young age. But I can still relate to her loneliness and helplessness on too many levels.
« I thought if I never needed anything, if I never bothered you, if I took care of us… you’d love me. But it didn’t work »
