 “Girls at the Edge of the World” by Laura Brooke Robson is hard to classify.  Fantasy but not high fantasy.  Queer.  Just pre-apocalypse.  Solemn and sweet.  It has some predictable beats, but in the end, isn’t at all.  It is an intimate story within a larger catastrophe that leaves a lot deliberately unexplained.  Anyway, I enjoyed it.
