Love Isobelle Carmody. Would have loved the book a whole lot more if I wasn't dealing with depression right now, because I didn't cotton on going in that I was going to be reading about depression and suicide. OOPS. She still deserves four stars though because it's not her fault I read it at a bad time and as usual her prose was fab and the story all fit together beautifully. (
