“Girls at the Edge of the World” by Laura Brooke Robson is hard to classify. Fantasy but not high fantasy. Queer. Just pre-apocalypse. Solemn and sweet. It has some predictable beats, but in the end, isn’t at all. It is an intimate story within a larger catastrophe that leaves a lot deliberately unexplained. Anyway, I enjoyed it.
