Onion Girl
Onion Girl | Charles de Lint
In novel after novel, and story after story, Charles de Lint has brought an entire imaginary North American city to vivid life. Newford: where magic lights dark streets; where myths walk clothed in modern shapes; where a broad cast of extraordinary and affecting people work to keep the whole world turning. At the center of all the entwined lives in Newford stands a young artist named Jilly Coppercorn, with her tangled hair, her paint-splattered jeans, a smile perpetually on her lips--Jilly, whose paintings capture the hidden beings that dwell in the city's shadows. Now, at last, de Lint tells Jilly's own story...for behind the painter's fey charm lies a dark secret and a past she's labored to forget. And that past is coming to claim her now."I'm the onion girl," Jilly Coppercorn says. "Pull back the layers of my life, and you won't find anything at the core. Just a broken child. A hollow girl." She's very, very good at running. But life has just forced Jilly to stop.

GUYS. I got all these books at the thrift store for $12. Do people know about this?!?

ValerieAndBooks 👏👍. I love it when a thrift shop has an excellent selection when you're there! Sometimes the same shop will have nothing good (in my eyes) a few weeks later. 8y
Dragon Wow that's a very good deal!!! 👍 8y
JSW That is an excellent haul!! My thrift stores have Nora Roberts and James Patterson mostly. 8y

I've read this several times since it came out, and buy anything by CdL that I can get my hands on and while they are all amazing this book will forever hold my heart. 💘
