This was really interesting, hard to place into a time category, because the magic spills out from the pages. Milagros is a disobedient, independent child on a Caribbean island paradise. The island is taken over by people from a poor island, Milagros escapes to the water where the rays carry her to safety, far away in New England. There she is considered the 'girl from away'.
There's a lot packed into this small book, pirates, fog, the scent of roses and a quilt made from scraps.
