"Accidents ambush the unsuspecting, often violently, just like love." (Opening sentence in "The Gargoyle" by Andrew Davidson (2008). Photo credit: Hanna W. via www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/lgbt-pride-hearts

This is one of my all-time favourite books. It's a blend of historical fiction, magic realism and a reminder that love can be found in the most unexpected of places and expressed in innumerable ways.
