The Morningside : a novel (engelsk)

The Morningside was once the jewel of Island City. But now the luxury high-rise is crumbling and Island City is half-underwater. The building's newest resident is an eleven-year-old girl, Silvia. Having arrived with only her mother, who is stubbornly secretive, Silvia knows little about the place they left behind. But her aunt, Ena, delights in recounting the richly imaginative folktales of their demolished homeland to her little niece. Suddenly Silvia's world fills with magic and myths.
