Among Others by Jo Walton

4.0

An odd book - I wouldn't have picked it for a nebula winner - it's barely a fantasy. And yet it's kind of a love letter to growing up reading sf and fantasy in the 80's and finding others who read sf and talk about it. The references to books and characters come so fast and furious, I'd expect it would be the extraordinarily rare person who's read them all AND remembers them. Basically this is an English boarding-school book and in fact just a couple of months in one year - told through the journal of our protagonist - a 15 year old surviving twin who sees fairies.

I expect I'll read this one again at some point.
