The Little Country is a wonderful fantasy novel. The author creates a world, quite unlike our own, but all the more magnificent for that: part Native American legend and part science-fiction, all magically enticing and beautiful. The story is told by Annabelle, an orphan who has found refuge in the forest with her friend Red, an equally neglected girl. Their time together is idyllic until one day Hannah Curtis walks into their lives and shakes things up in a very big way. With her new "difference," it becomes necessary for Annabelle to find out what it means to be different in a world where everyone else around her could suddenly stop living at any moment.
The Little Country is a story about the people of a small town and how they are slowly changed by an event. When the town's power dies, it takes everything the community has with it. Now that things have changed, people's relationships change as well.
