Set in wartime Hungary at a bleak & stringent boarding school with themes of girlhood, isolation, loss and a magically mysterious statue- of course, sent Abigail by Magda Szabo to the top of my reading pile. Rarely can a book make me weep within fifteen minutes of reading.

“"My favorite book is set in Hungary during World War II" is not something that I'd ever imagine would leave my mouth, but I loved this book start to finish. It's about family, loss, with a touch of Harry Potter minus the JK Rowling.”

“Incredible close third-person narrator. Weird and fun”

Anja Charbonneau
“I love a book about a boarding school.”
