First novel by that author for me and I was nicely surprised.

At the beginning, reading about three young girls doing some magic in the forest I was thinking, oh no, not another "she said and he said and they said, like..." work as is often the case.

But not at all, Marshall managed to deploy a narrative that kept me hooked, with numerous twists (somewhat predictable but still very well handled ) making me turn pages without realizing it. Had a quick look at her other works and all of them seem to have as subject matter women or young women so not sure how they read but will probably have a look.
