"...for reading, once begun, quickly becomes home and circle and court and family, and indeed, without narrative, I felt exiled from my own country. By the transport of books, that which is most foreign becomes one's familiar walks and avenues; while that which is most familiar is removed to delightful strangeness; and unmoving, one travels infinite causeways, immobile and thus unfettered." — M.T. Anderson (The Pox Party)

Impossible by Nancy Werlin
Fantasy combined with realism, Impossible illustrates a legend behind the classic song Scarborough Fair. Although I found it a bit heavy, readers who enjoy fantastical elements in their realism or fairy tale retellings should find something to like in Impossible.
