The sorrows of ava lavender6/28/2023 ![]() When I venture into the world of adult books, it tends to be in the genre of magical realism like Sarah Addison Allen's books. Leslye Walton's writing style is simply magical. It is a story of heartbreak, but ultimately, one of love. The entire family is both blessed and cursed with an ethereal strangeness that follows from one generation to the next. The torch is then passed to Ava's mother, Viviane who experiences the loss of a beautiful love and is left with a pair of twins: Ava with the wings of an angel and Henry who rarely emerges from the world in his mind. It continues through the life of Ava's grandmother Emilienne and tells the tale of her 4 great loves, all of whom came to a disastrous end. ![]() The story follows her great grandparents as they immigrate to America anticipating an easy life and streets paved with gold. It is told through the eyes of teenage Ava Lavender, born under the strangest of circumstances and possessing a pair of dappled wings. This book is so incredible, yet so difficult to describe. ![]()
