Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender - Walton Leslye
A mesmerizing, lyrical tale of the bright and dark sides of love and desire. Magical realism is woven through this generational saga, creating a narrative reminiscent of Gabriel Garcia Marquez, with a taste of Chocolat by Joanne Harris. First-time author Leslye Walton has constructed a layered and unforgettable mythology that "follows Ava Lavender's discovery of her one-of-a-kind self" (Teen Vogue).Shortlisted for the 2015 Waterstone's Children's Book Prize, Leslye Walton's stunning debut novel is "rich with lyrical and whimsical writing" (Kiera Cass, New York Times bestselling author of the Selection series).
And for Ava Lavender, a girl born with the wings of a bird, it is an ominous thing to inherit. Foolish love appears to be a Roux family birthright. In her quest to understand her peculiar disposition and a growing desire to join her peers, Ava ventures into the wider world.
But it is a dangerous world for a naive girl - a world which may view her as girl or angel. On the night of the summer solstice celebration, the skies open up, rain and feathers fill the air and Ava's journey and her family's saga reaches a devastating crescendo.
