Melody Murray's Books

I really liked this book. It's got a lot in common with The Crow-Girl: The Children of Crow Cove, as it's the story of a young woman who wrestles the world into submission, more or less. But it's a lovely, lyrical journey. I love the way children change hands in these books, and how it all works out for the best. I also adore the way Bredsdorff has the (good) adults talk with the kids- they are free to make their own mistakes, free to wander off into the world, clearly valued and respected and missed, but free agents from an early age.
