I read this recently too, and loved it. I also read the ‘sequel’ — Widdershins, which, if you liked this, you will love. I would recommend starting with Dreams Underfoot, however, since that gives you a lot of background on everyone… I love Charles de Lint and I hope you keep reading his amazing novels!

I also read this without having read any other Newford stories before, but I actually felt like I was missing something sometimes. Not anything major, though, and I still enjoyed it overall. I’m glad you did too

A sequel? I’m definitely going to check that one out! I am excited to read more de Lint. I can’t believe I’d never read any of his books before now. Thanks for all your comments!

This Newford novel sounds excellent. So far I’ve read one short story anthology in the series, Dreams Underfoot, and am currently reading The Ivory and the Horn. All have been and are excellent, but I do need to get to some of his Newford novels.

Enjoyed your review! I only discovered Charles de Lint about two years ago, and absolutely love the Newford books. My favourite books are all either about Jilly or Christy Riddell, but I haven’t read this one yet.

I loved this book. There’s also a direct sequel, Widdershins, that came out a couple of years ago, which continues with Jilly’s healing process.
