I just finished The Stolen Child, so I'm reviewing it while it's fresh in my mind.

A dark, sad, uplifting, wistful story. Henry Days, both old and new, are such sad and likeable characters that I spent 300 pages worrying about them...about their relationships, their safety, and their emotional fragility. This was a funny, delicate story, beautifully written. It's heroes and their stories unfold themselves slowly, beautifully and tragically. I heartily recommend it for a quiet winter's day.
