Strange (but engaging) story (not a real mystery, but...) about a troubled girl growing up in post-war Wales, told from her point of view. She gets pulled into a mystery -- a neighbor disappears leaving a wife a two young daughters. Where is Ifan Evans? But the more she looks, the more complicated things become and the more she realizes how everything in life, in her life, is connected.
I liked this story very much, although I felt that I wanted a little more narration (more plain description of people and places, for example) and a little less of other things (I got tired of hearing about how the dirty tablecloth, and practically everything else she encounters, makes her queasy).
Has anyone else read this? I can recommend it, 3 1/2 stars, rounded up to 4.
