"The Earth Hums in B Flat" by Mari Strachan ***
- Welsh author
- Originally published in 2009
- Debut novel
- Review: A lovely debut novel. I imagine this book being kept on the shelf of a summer cottage for adults and youths to pick up and read. It would be just the right tone for vacation. The perspective of a young girl who is inquisitive, intuitive, exquisitely sensitive, and who flies over her town in her sleep is a delightful one. Gwennie is full of questions. Some of the answers are tough to handle, but then again, so is life. Charming and insightful.
