The Book of Hidden Wonders (2020)
Polly Crosby
"I felt as if I lived inside The Book of Hidden Wonders while I was reading it. Polly Crosby makes sensory magic here, conjuring images of such vividness that I saw and tasted and smelled and heard and felt them for myself, and I’ll remember them always. I’ll remember Romilly and her father too: I loved them deeply, and they filled and broke my heart."
