Reinette needs a break. Calling off the wedding was the right thing to do but now the rest of her life stretches before her, safe, predictable, empty and lonely. Unless she plans to be stuck in her mother's guest room forever, Reinette has to find a job and a new place to live. Instead, the usually responsible Reinette signs up for a photography camp on a whim. Being out in the wilds, taking beautiful photographs, meeting new people…maybe this is what she’s been yearning for. Reinette doesn't realise that even the most careful young woman can be tempted away from the safety of the campfire. Deep in the forest a long-forgotten gate waits for her to unlock it, and discover the secrets beyond. Reinette will need all her reserves of courage and kindness to help the new, and rather magical, friends she's about to make.
There are no crazy stakes, grand adventures, or ratcheting tension levels. Just an interesting cast in an equally interesting setting, spending some time together while you get a glimpse at things. While not my favorite of Masha's books, I love stories like these when I come across them at the right time, and this was no exception.
