Stunning Writing!!
My first thought when reading this First Impression is how absolutely stunning the writing is! Our narrator, Vera tells us of her town- far up in the mountains and cut off from the rest of civilization and how all the mothers are afflicted, fading until they're just gone. The story starts when a stranger comes to town and is all anyone can talk about. Lyrical and full of detail, Elsewhere is in a league of its own.
I really love the cover and the sort of folk art style- it fits quite well with the story.
