So imagine my surprise when there were fairies and magic in this book.ġ917… It was inexplicable, impossible, but it had to be true-didn’t it? When two young cousins, Frances Griffiths and Elsie Wright from Cottingley, England, claim to have photographed fairies at the bottom of the garden, their parents are astonished. Then you add in that cover and there you have it, I was convinced at face value that this was a family saga (something that I love). It just sounded like a title that said ‘family saga’ in the vein of Kate Morton for some reason. At least to me it does.Īdmittedly, I skimmed the review pitch very lightly and didn’t really pay close attention to it because like it or not, I knew I would review this one based on the cover and title. When you first glimpse the cover of this book, it doesn’t shout ‘magical realism’.
