Gabrielle Haddad gabriellehaddad — I wish I'd written about this right after I'd finished it, when I was still caught in the world of the story, which is incredibly well-drawn. The book is told in two parallel first person narratives: one following a faery changeling in his new, human life; and one following the little boy he replaced in his life among the faeries. Donohue's depiction of faeries was really different and not what I was expecting; this is no grand court of Titania, but a hard, meager existence eked out in the woods—like an especially brutal version of Peter Pan's lost boys. Donohue doesn't flinch away from the brutality of this, or the more disturbing aspects of sexuality in people who grow older in mind but remain children in body. In contrast, the original changeling (who was also, once long ago, a human boy) gets his second chance at human life, discovering a remarkable gift for music. Donohue does a really good job showing the sadness and the beauty in both characters' situations, and the book, which could have been gut-wrenchingly tragic, maintains a wonderful sense of hope. A first novel, and a really fascinating one.

Relativa Studio relativa — This is a strange book. As much as Feeling Sorry for Celia is a superlative text, I suppose I believe that authors should try to write different novels each time they write, and not get in an unimaginative rut. If you get this from a typical library, as you read, you will keep looking back at the strange sticker on the spine saying that it is a mystery, feeling that somehow the catalogers were confused by its title. Then, rather suddenly, the skewed teen drama swerves into the criminal, putting all the earlier text you read into suspicion, and a mystery left for the reader to unravel. Fascinating, truly, and still within the 'found documents' style of Moriarty's, but ultimately a bit unsatisfying. I like the found documents thing though, as well as the nuances and absurdities with which this book toys, so it receives a solid 4 stars. But only circuitously so.
