Book #56 -- Mari Strachan,
The Earth Hums in B Flat, 327 pages.
For a debut novel, this is really great. It's set in a small Welsh village, through the eyes of 12-year-old Gwenni Morgan. Gwenni is a creative, imaginative girl who flies in her dreams, and takes it upon herself to investigate the mysterious death of her neighbour's husband, an event that throws the whole town into chaos. In the course of her investigation, she uncovers a number of secrets perhaps better left buried.
