This volume continues the story of the Green Angel. The disaster changes everything for Green and her family. When the Horde comes down from the hills and destroys the city many people are killed in the fire including Green’s parents, sister, and her true love, Diamond. The Horde, the group responsible for the burning, claims heaven is punishing them for their sins and they hate everything the people have built: schools, libraries, buildings, businesses. The magical realism of the novel blends Green’s powers to tend her garden, which grows overnight, with the very real world of survival after disaster. The townspeople tolerate Green even though they think she is one of the Enchanted or witches who live alone, because she provides them with food and collects and writes their stories down. The Finder, who finds everything people need and turns out to be a thirteen year old boy, wants Green to help him find his sister who disappeared when the Horde swept through the village. As she collects the stories of the Enchanted, searching for the woman who can grant your heart’s desire, she discovers that Diamond is still alive and she and Troy set out to find his sister and Diamond. This beautiful, lyrical novel will appeal to more thoughtful readers who appreciate good writing.
