White Crow
(1 reviews with an average rating of 5 out of 5)
Publisher: Orion
City girl Rebecca, spending the summer in a remote East Anglian seaside village, encounters Ferelith, a Goth who lives in a commune. The third character is an eighteenth-century parson who is drawn into bizarre scientific experimentation with the moment of death.
Each character's story is told in third person, personal narration and diary entries respectively, as their experiences coalesce, and the unsettling denouement is reached. Readers are left to wonder whether all this is a figment of Rebecca's own mental strife, the result of personal loss and encroaching depression.

"Unsettling" is one word that describes this brilliant work of art. The two storylines are so beautifully intertwined, that even the most beautiful of music can not be compared to this. 'White Crow' is one book that I think everyone should read, at least once. Marcus Sedgwick has -without a doubt- outdone himself with this masterpiece.
