The three Story sisters were extremely close and as children created their own fantasy world complete with its own language which they spoke together as a way to isolate and protect themselves from the real world.

An awful event on their way home from school one day, binds Claire and Elv together and leaves Meg left out and hurt. The consequences of this day resonate throughout the rest of their lives.

I love how Hoffman uses magical realism as a way to explore human emotions. Even though her characters live in a dark and often frightening world, this is ultimately a hopeful book. A thoroughly riveting read!
