While on vacation, Philippa (Philippa Fisher's Fairy Godsister) befriends Robyn and reconnects with her "fairy godsister" Daisy. The story takes a while to get moving, and the amusing personality clash between Daisy and Philippa is missing here. What's left is a tale with lots of Kessler's fairy lore, a little bit of mystery, and some New Age psychologizing about grief.
