As a child, she was so whimsical that her parents told her she was “left by fairies.” Now, living alone in Dublin, she finds herself without a friend in the world.<br /> &#160;<br /> So, she decides it’s time to change her life: She begins by advertising for a friend. Not just any friend. She wants one named Penelope.<br /> &#160;<br /> Meanwhile, Vivian roams the city, mapping out a new neighborhood every day, seeking her escape route to a better world, the other world her parents told her she came from.<br /> &#160;<br /> And then one day someone named Penelope answers her ad for a friend. And from that moment on, Vivian's life begins to change.<br /> &#160;<br /> Debut author Caitriona Lally offers readers an exhilaratingly fresh take on the Irish love for lyricism, humor, and inventive wordplay in a book that is, in itself, deeply charming, and deeply moving.
