I think it was Mitzi who suggested this book for me. Oh, my gosh. It is crazy good. The first night I reached the part where the brother who was closest to Kya's age told her he was leaving. He couldn't stay. Everyone had run off except for Pa. And her brother told Kya (who was six) that he had to leave. And his advice was to hide from everyone when they came around. And that she might need to hide from Pa, too.
I couldn't read more. I called Mitzi to ask what to expect so that I could turn it back on. And Mitzi reassured me. This child breaks my heart. But with Mitzi's reassurance I am continuing to read.
I finished the book last night. In one way I am disappointed that the author made what was such an amazing book into a murder mystery. On the other hand the way that Delia made the details unravel was extremely inventive and absolutely ingenious. I do recommend this book. It is a very good read.
