Girl Meets Boy by Ali Smith

Shortly following Smith's highly-acclaimed novel 'The Accidental' comes a shorter, simpler story - a retelling of Ovid's myth of Iphis. 'Girl Meets Boy' is a swift, gentle, fiercely affectionate tale of a girl who falls in love with a boy who is a girl. As always, Smith balances humour and seriousness, intellect and warmth, leaving the reader unsure of what has been magic amongst people, and what in people might just be magical.
