Some Kind of Fairy Tale

Written by Graham Joyce

Average Score: 85(2)

Acclaimed author Graham Joyce's mesmerizing new novel centers around the disappearance of a young girl from a small town in the heart of England. Her sudden return twenty years later, and the mind-bending tale of where she's been, will challenge our very perception of truth.

For twenty years after Tara Martin disappeared from her small English town, her parents and her brother, Peter, have lived in denial of the grim fact that she was gone for good. And then suddenly, on Christmas Day, the doorbell rings at her parents' home and there, disheveled and slightly peculiar looking, Tara stands. It's a miracle, but alarm bells are ringing for Peter. Tara's story just does not add up. And, incredibly, she barely looks a day older than when she vanished.
 
Award-winning author Graham Joyce is a master of exploring new realms of understanding that exist between dreams and reality, between the known and unknown. Some Kind of Fairy Tale is a unique journey every bit as magical as its title implies, and as real and unsentimental as the world around us.

SFX | Dave Golder
Review Rating: 90
Full of engaging characters, moments of beautiful prose, and Joyce's trademark ability to evoke the magic in the English countryside, it's an utterly beguiling and deceptively complex tale...

Review Rating: 80
I think that anyone who reads this book will probably devour it as readily as did I, and they'll probably enjoy that experience.
