By Louise Welsh
I picked this up when we were used book hunting in Charlottetown at one of their many excellent book stores. I think this copy was at The Book Emporium, but not sure. It was big, with different floors. I was upstairs in their huge fiction section. Surprisingly I only found a few books to purchase, but Olman found a pile as usual.
I remember I also got a charming fairy craft book for my daughter. They were cut-out fairies with cut-out outfits painted in a Rosetti-esque Romantic style. We played with the cut-outs while was had an early dinner el fresco at a nearby brewery. It was a pleasant day.
This is the 2002 debut novel of Louise Welsh. It had an interesting premise, which was why I had this book on my list (which I consulted at The Book Emporium). The narrative was competently executed but I didn't enjoy it as much as I had expected.
