Though it was not mind-blowing and though I kind of figured out what the plot twist is half way through the book (I think most readers who "consume" a lot of this genre have this issue), the story served its purpose. It is deep midwinter, everything is monochrome, it is snowing and icy, you can almost feel the chill transmitting from the page.

A moving, powerful story that shines a light on those that feel invisible in our world - and shows us that we ALL belong - from the author of Ruby's Worry. As she walks about Isabel realises she is ignored by people, and feels she is literally fading away. Isabel is stirred to action and decides to make a difference to her new community in the little ways she can.The Science of Fiction and the Fiction of Science: Collected Essays on SF Storytelling and the Gnostic Imagination.

This is a very personal message from the author, who had a very happy childhood even when his family had very little – underlining the message we can all contribute somehow, and that we all belong! The ideas are fresh and the characters have depth, leaving the reader to yearn for more as each short chapter comes to a close.
