Hanna Who Fell from the Sky by Christopher Meades

3.0

I read the first chapter of this book as a preview and was hooked so was excited to read it. Hanna lives with her large family in a small community where all men have several wives.. As she turns eighteen, she is betrothed to a much older man within the town and this begins to make her question her life and her family. The plot was well created, focusing on the development and maturing of the character Hanna. I found some aspects hard to believe - in an entirely plausible story there was just one strand of magical realism that just didn't seem to fit - there was no explanation for it or basis for the mystery. Nevertheless I did enjoy it and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to others.
