Among Others

by Jo Walton - £8.99  Constable and Robinson (Corsair) (2013)
paperback    ISBN 13: 9781472106537 | ISBN 10: 1472106539

Winner of the 2012 Hugo Award for Best Novel. Winner of the 2011 Nebula Award for Best Novel.
 
Startling, unusual, and yet irresistably readable, Among Others is at once the compelling story of a young woman struggling to escape a troubled childhood, a brilliant diary of first encounters with the great novels of modern fantasy and SF, and a spellbinding tale of escape from ancient enchantment.
 
'It doesn't matter. I have books, new books, and I can bear anything as long as there are books.'
 
Fifteen-year-old Morwenna lives in Wales with her twin sister and a mother who spins dark magic for ill. One day, Mori and her mother fight a powerful, magical battle that kills her sister and leaves Mori crippled. Devastated, Mori flees to her long-lost father in England. Adrift, outcast at boarding school, Mori retreats into the worlds she knows best: her magic and her books. She works a spell to meet kindred souls and continues to devour every fantasy and science fiction novel she can lay her hands on. But danger lurks... She knows her mother is looking for her and that when she finds her, there will be no escape.
