I've had Charles De Lint on my list of authors to read for so long. I finally read a book by him in my fiftieth year. Why did I wait so long!?
Set in the fairly modern day United States' Southwest, The Mystery of Grace is one of De Lint's most recent releases. Grace is a bad-ass, tattoo-covered, vintage car restorer who took after her grandfather more than her mother. The book tells the story of a young woman who makes the journey to a place on the other side of living, but is it THE place? It's a love story. It's a ghost story that is introspective and spiritual rather than scary. It's a beautifully written story about friendship, caring for others, trusting in yourself, and the courage to leap into the unknown. I loved it, and I can't wait to catch up on all of the De Lint books I've missed out on reading so far.
