(1) YA After escaping from horrifyingly abusive circumstances, Liga raises her daughters, Branza and Urdda, in a parallel world without aggression or fear. When strangers pique Urdda's curiosity, she finds her way to the real world, rupturing Liga's haven. Earthy folk dialect tethers the fantasy even as the lyrical narrative and mythic imagery intensify its fairy-tale atmosphere. A story of extraordinary depth and beauty.
