Claire McFall

After a train crash, Dylan wakes up in the dark and alone, with no idea where she is. Lost in the middle of a deserted landscape, one thing is certain for the young woman: she may not be in Scotland anymore.

Ferryman is an incredible story. It is a quest in the afterlife, as Dylan walks toward the other side. By her side is Tristan, a young man far older than he looks. He is a Ferryman, with only purpose to help the souls cross the in-between towards the border. Little is known about him : mostly silent, he shares little about him. But as the two characters cross the dangers of this unknown world, new feelings appear.

I really loved this young adult novel. The characters are very deep and touching and their backstories are explored along the way. Little action in the story, as the wandering of Dylan and Tristan are at the center of the story. Claire Mc Fall’s novel is extremely poetic and introspective. It is a spiritual and supernatural romance, a very unique mixture that kept me hooked. I cannot wait to read the sequel, Trespassers.… (más)
