Charles de Lint
2017 Aurora Awards Best of Decade FinalistIn novel after novel, and story after story, Charles de Lint has brought an entire imaginary North American city to vivid life. Newford: where magic lights dark streets; where myths walk clothed in modern shapes; where a broad cast of extraordinary and affecting people work to keep the whole world turning. At the center of all the entwined lives in Newford stands a young artist named Jilly Coppercorn, with her tangled hair, her paint-splattered jeans, a smile perpetually on her lips--Jilly, whose paintings capture the hidden beings that dwell in the city's shadows. Now, at last, de Lint tells Jilly's own story...for behind the painter's fey charm lies a dark secret and a past she's labored to forget. And that past is coming to claim her now."I'm the onion girl," Jilly Coppercorn says. "Pull back the layers of my life, and you won't find anything at the core. Just a broken child. A hollow girl." She's very, very good at running. But life has just forced Jilly to stop.At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

"Charles de lint is one of my top 3 go tos. All of his books are very in depth and twist and turn your emotions this way an that. This one most of all. It's a bit of a long read and can get a little confusing at times because it switched between people per chapter. But once you get into the swing of it the ending is so worth every bit of iT"
