Beyond the Bright Sea

Lauren Wolk may be my new favorite author.  This book was absolutely beautiful and original.  The characters were endearing and lovable; the plot exciting and mysterious.  It is set a long time ago, when a very contagious disease called leprosy took the lives of many innocent people and caused fear among others.  Crow was cast to the sea as an infant, away from an island plagued with the disease.  She finds a home with a reclusive man and his neighbor and they become the girl's family.  But when people start searching for treasure on the island of her birth, her past catches up to her.  (FIC WOL)
