February - Lisa Moore: Thanks H for the copy of this. While the story was a bit different than I thought (not as much focus on the son,) it is so beautifully & simply told that I couldn't put it down. The precarious balance between now and then, in & out in Helen's head is very clear; we easily could fall into that life. Only when the shadow lifts does the light show how much was missed.
Sugar Queen - Sarah Addison Allen: I picked up Garden Spells a while back. A good clean read especially for those who enjoy Alice Hoffman (see below.) Sugar Queen is the same, although I think the characters are better drawn here.
Ice Queen - Alice Hoffman: I often forget how much I love the magical fiction of Alice Hoffman that is until a read an only slightly inferior copy of her type of writing and am forced to find which books I've missed. More will be on the agenda.
But first I have to finish Syliva & get it back to the library :-)
