(1) YA Narrator Briony, a self-proclaimed witch, believes that her own childish jealousy led to her twin sister's brain damage. When Eldric comes to board at the family parsonage, his "busy London blood pumping just inches away," she begins to dig up suppressed memories. Billingsley's complex and tightly woven plot involves mystery, murder, romance, and ancient lore; her setting is earthy, visceral, and alive.
