In the early twentieth century in Swampsea, Wales, seventeen-year-old Briony, who can see the spirits that haunt the marshes around their town, feels responsible for her twin sister's horrible injury until a young man enters their lives and exposes secrets that even Briony does not know about.
This is just soooo good. Gorgeous writing, excellent story and just enough terror to make it interesting. Discover it for yourself.
Really excellently written teen fantasy WITHOUT a love triangle. The protagonist is complex, without being just another whiny teenager. And I'm glad it was done in first person, as it gave me a good look at what a truly damaged teenager might be thinking. Just well done.
