I'm gradually adding books I've read in 2021 to give a true reflection of the books I've read since keeping records.  This was the first book I read in 2021, and is what kick started my reading journey having put reading on the back burner whilst bringing up the children, previously being an avid reader.  I enjoyed this book. Joanna Teale is recovering from breast cancer and she retreats to graduate researching in a cabin in the woods.  A mysterious child called Ursa shows up and she reluctantly let's her stay. She does call the police but she rubs away, returning when the police leave. A neighbour assists with the 3 of them forming a bond. A really lovely book.

A delightful read! So glad I didn't know much about this book going into it. I honestly didn't know if I was reading literary fiction, a mystery or sci-fi!
