Review: CHILDREN'S FICTION: Annabel Pitcher on a bewitching tale of magic, menace and mystery: Cuckoo Song by Frances Hardinge 408pp, Macmillan, pounds 7.99
2014
Overview
[Triss]'s younger sister, a rather irritating, abrasive character called Pen, holds all the answers. She was there when her sibling emerged from The Grimmer, but is \"sibling\" the right term for the girl who climbed out of the water to take Triss's place in the Crescent family's home? Pen doesn't seem to think so, and delights in telling Triss that she is \"getting everything just a bit wrong. Everything. All the time. And sooner or later they'll notice.\" Triss has no idea what she is talking about. She believes wholeheartedly that she is the real Triss, so it comes as a shock to both her and the reader to discover that she is an imposter. It is an ambitious idea to have a protagonist who thinks for 100 pages that she is someone else, but Hardinge pulls it off with aplomb.
