Candlelick Press, Cambridge MA, 2006
I was a puddle of goo by the end of this book. It is simply the most beautiful thing I have ever read.
It was recommended to me by Jørn Otte, a friend of mine from my MFA program, who writes YA fiction and nonfiction. He said it was his favorite book, and the passion he obviously felt for it was convincing. As soon as I had headspace to read something on my own recognizance, this was my choice.
It has a Buddhist feel, but it is about as close to atheist a fantasy as one could imagine, and it is a deeply spiritual book. Edward’s journey, and it is a journey in all senses of the word, is as described, and I was gutted at the end of it. If I didn’t have a hundred things in my tbr pile, I’d pick it up and read it again right now. I’m sorely tempted to do that anyway, but I can’t really justify it.
