Nevertell by Katharine Orton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Opening in a Soviet labour camp during Stalin’s time, Orton has created a wonderful fantasy centring on a young girl, Lina, born in the camp. Whilst the opening scene is realistic, the story soon turns to a blend of Russian fairytale and adventure story as Lina is involved in an escape from the camp which brings her companions and her into the realm of the spirit world. The unexpected uniting of families and the beautiful descriptions add to the involving adventure and suspense to make a great read.
