Description
Anushka's mother's death brings her lost magic back to life. Her best friend is her calm in the chaos, until he becomes her chaos instead... A starlit love story and an adult coming of age, in a time and place not quite our own. Anushka's life feels like it's held together by wishful thinking. A precarious thing when, for most of her years, she hadn't allowed her mind to wander very far. It was too dangerous, you see, for someone who had always had something star-touched about her. Something Other. Something that had been browbeaten out of her when she was just a child. But when she's tasked with organising her estranged mother's funeral, Anushka finds that a part of herself she had long thought dead, was now coming back to life. As familiar but half forgotten things cross her path again, Anushka must find a way to reconcile past, present and future to find her way through the dark. And maybe that means allowing herself to look at Cyrus, her roommate and closest friend, in the light of different stars. X-Posted to Noxglaive.com
