I think, if you are looking for the perfectly-plotted thriller, ''Whisper to Me'' isn't it. There is a mystery. You do get the answer. But solving the mystery isn't the point of this story. This is a story of vulnerability, of love, and of battling demons. It's a testimony of crisis and a love letter, with a mystery aside. And I think it's just perfect like that.
[[Rowan the Strange by Julie Hearn]] is another tour de force. Diagnosed with schizophrenia, a young teenager is sent to a psychiatric hospital at the very start of World War II. Adults might appreciate [[Eleven Days by Lea Carpenter]].
