About This Item
New York:: Harper Collins,, (2006). Hardcover first edition -. Fine in a fine dust jacket (as new.). First US printing. The author's first book, one which asks the reader to imagine a world in which books have been banned. The story of twelve year old Mosca who has the gift of knowing how to read. When she meets up with Eponymous Clent, "a traveling wordsmith of dubious repute, they become immersed in the intrigues of the city of Mandelion Initially awed by her confusing new surroundings, Mosca gradually pieces together important truths about the realm and her place within it. Through rich, colorful language and a sure sense of plot and pacing, Hardinge has created a distinctly imaginative world full of engaging characters, robust humor, and true suspense. While she tries to judge right from wrong within the complex plots that ensnare her, Mosca finds that few of the people she meets are as simple as they first seem. Plot twists, lively dialogue, and the antics of Mosca's fierce pet goose add plenty of humor." (School Library Journal) Short listed for the Guardian award. 486 pp.

This is an awful book. I still don't know how I was even able to finish it. I must have a high threshold for pain. The book's plot was overly and needlessly complex and just plain boring.
