It's unusual, tense, and full of unforgettable characters who hold back just a little so that you want quite desperately to know them better. And it's been beautifully translated by Helena Wragg-Kirkby. If you're looking for something fresh and original to read as this winter draws to a close, and you like a bit of fantasy, take a look at ''Heaven''. You won't regret it.
''Heaven'' is a much more interesting urban faerie story than many on the shelves. One of our favourites from the standard genre fare is [[Wings by Aprilynne Pike]]. But if you are looking for something else original, you could try [[Heaven Eyes by David Almond]] or [[Far Rockaway by Charlie Fletcher]]. We also have a review of [[Memory: She's Dying to Remember by Christoph Marzi]].
