The narrative of this lovely, lyrical novel unfolds in short vignettes, like a delicate bird skimming just over the water, dipping now and then to leave deepening ripples on the surface. Fifteen-year-old Mirabelle is like a wounded young bird who can’t break loose from the nest. Abandoned by her father who couldn’t cope with her mentally ill mother, Mira’s loneliness and desire to escape are palpable from the opening pages, garnering immediate empathy from the reader, who will feel her anguish and silently cheer when Mira finally begins to test her wings. Her tentative friendship with Cath, the new girl in her art class, coaxes Mira from her shell. Wearing a color other than black, eating French fries after school in a café, and being acknowledged as a top student in art class are rich triumphs. Just when things are looking up, Cath unwittingly betrays Mira. In quick succession, Mira is devastated by three males in her life. Her sensitive art teacher (nicknamed “the birdman” by Mira because he rehabilitates birds) is the one who sees how fragile Mira is and recommends counseling. Paule, the blind but insightful school therapist, helps Mira begin to fit together the shattered pieces of her self. Literary allusions and symbolism abound. Librarians will love Mira, because she is a reader and library user. Teen girls will identify with Mira’s struggle to form her identity, conflicts with her mother, and her curiosity about her budding sexuality. Originally published in French, there seems to be nothing lost in translation. The English translation is all sparse, elegant prose and should be a definite contender for the Batchelder Award.

I thought this book had the most vivid imagery I have EVER read. The writing was hauntingly beautiful . . . we rarely get a glimpse of life from Death's perspective. And just as he was drawn to Leisel, so was I. I do not want to give away any spoilers . . . but this is one of my favorite books to read in my World Literature classes - Markus - your words truly inspire my students!

On the surface, this is a fun little novel that explores the mystery of Richard III and the princes in the tower. However, looking more closely, it also dissects the process of historians, how history (with the emphasis on "story") filters into the public consciousness, and the willingness of people to believe what they are told. This made for a particularly interesting read in our current political climate of lies and half-truths, even with some arcane British parliamentary expressions to look up. As always, Tey's language is beautiful and characterizations are strong. I still can't believe I had never heard of her; Tey really needs to be rediscovered.

The basis for just about every sci-fi movie involving robots or machines. Very good.

This was an interesting look at marriage and relationships and coming to terms with the whole package. It included the history of marriage, and many different perspectives on all aspects of relationships. It was very different from Eat, Pray, Love. I give Elizabeth Gilbert credit for her raw honesty. It is a very realistic view of marriage, not at all a fairy tale view. It is an informative read for just about anyone who has been in a committed relationship.
